Look closer too at the language in the article. The first sentence in the Trump article is again historical significance followed by a description of the jury's findings, whereas for Biden the order is reversed - what Biden did followed by the historical significance.

The difference in language usage goes further. Biden was "convicted". Trump was "found guilty".

Later the jury "pronounced" Trump guilty whereas Biden's guilt is simply discovered.

While the reporters for each story are different, the organization is the same, presumably the style guide is the same, but in one case the reporters and headline writers decided to emphasize one defendants actions, and in the other case the actions of the jury.
