Original Note:
Conviction in US law requires both a finding of guilt and a sentence by a judge. President Trump was found guilty but his sentence has been postponed indefinitely, so as a matter of law, he is not a "convicted felon." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/22/trump-hush-money-case-sentencing https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-609-evidence-conviction
