The US presidential election campaign has moved into uncharted territory, after the Republican presumptive candidate Donald Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records. The former president's criminal conviction does not prevent him from running - even if he's sentenced to jail. President Biden's campaign said the threat Mr Trump posed to America's democracy had never been greater - and the ballot box was the only way to keep him out of the White House. Many Republicans say the trial was a travesty of justice, and Mr Trump himself has claimed he is a political prisoner. Opinion polls before his conviction had the two candidates locked in a tight race.
