Hilary Clinton is seemingly poking some fun at Donald Trump’s felony conviction.

The former presidential candidate, 76, appeared to address the former president’s guilty verdict on Thursday, May 30 after taking the podium at the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards in Washington D.C. 

In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) of the event, Clinton could be seen getting applause as she took the stage. She thanked the audience before quipping, “Anything going on today?” appearing to reference his criminal trial. The audience could be heard cheering in response. 

She also shared an Instagram post promoting a mug that featured a painted version of herself sipping tea with the words “turns out she was right about everything” printed on top. 

“We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot,” she captioned the photo of the mug. “The design happened to be finalized today.” 

The words seemingly stemmed from Clinton’s previous comments. She previously called Trump an “illegitimate president” in a CBS Morning interview in 2019 and suggested that he may have had a hand in rigging the 2016 elections in his favor.

“I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did,” she said at the time.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office argued during Trump’s criminal trial that he falsified documents in order to mask hush money payments to Stormy Daniels in the final days of his 2016 presidential election. In falsifying the records, the DA's office argued, Trump was more broadly attempting to bury evidence of an illegal conspiracy to influence the 2016 election.

Trump was ultimately found guilty in a New York court on Thursday, May 30, of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records — becoming the first president in history to become a convicted felon.

Following the guilty verdict, Trump told reporters of the trial, "This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt." He also vowed that he was an “innocent man” and would fight the verdict “to the end,” per CBS News.

Trump faces up to four years in prison, though he is also eligible for a lesser probation sentence and a fine. He is expected to appeal the verdict.
