Trump is Found Guilty by Jury
The jury in Donald Trump’s hush money trial has reached a verdict after deliberating for less than two days. The 12 jurors will return to the courtroom shortly to announce their decision on the 34 counts of falsifying business records that Trump faced related to the $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Trump has been present in the courtroom awaiting the verdict. The jury had requested to rehear portions of testimony from key witnesses David Pecker and Michael Cohen during their deliberations, suggesting they closely scrutinized the evidence around the alleged hush money scheme.
A guilty verdict would represent a significant legal setback for Trump as he campaigns for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. An acquittal would be a boost for his campaign efforts. The high-profile trial has garnered immense attention, with the testimony providing insight into the alleged cover-up of the payment to Daniels.
