## Resource

Jeffrey Donaldson, former MP and DUP leader, has been convicted on 18 historic sex offenses—including rape and indecent assault against children—while his wife aided the crimes. The verdict, reached after 10 hours of deliberation, stunned Northern Ireland as political leaders condemned the crimes and called for his knighthood to be stripped. Donaldson, 63, remains in custody awaiting sentencing, with a message clear: no one is above the law. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
