Watch: From NY to Texas - voters react to Trump conviction

People in both New York City and Fort Worth, Texas, reacted last night to the news of Donald Trump's guilty verdict.

Some of those interviewed said that they feel sad for America, while others said the conviction might affect their vote in November.

Mr Trump became the first US president to be convicted of a crime, when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence an adult film actress ahead of the 2016 election.

After deliberations over two days, the 12-member jury announced it had found Trump guilty on all 34 counts he faced. Unanimity was required for any verdict.
