Former President Donald Trump's notorious jab at Hillary Clinton came back to bite him on a historic Thursday that saw him convicted on felony charges in New York City.

"Lock him up!"

The chanting was captured on footage aired by the conservative network Real America's Voice, whose video team stood at the ready to watch Trump's motorcade drive by.
Another protester declared "F--- Trump" before the producers of Real America's Voice cut the mic on voices in the street and went to voice-over instead.
The historic decision represents the first time a panel of jurors determined the guilt of a former president on criminal charges.
Trump maintained his innocence throughout the six-week trial that saw a former fixer, adult film star, and ex-tabloid publisher take the stand to testify about catch-and-kill schemes linked to salacious stories and six-figure payments made in secret.
Trump's sentencing is scheduled for July 11 at 10 a.m. ET. One legal expert predicts jail is "likely."
