Jury finds Trump guilty on all 34 counts in New York v. Trump case
SUMMARY
A New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump, who pleaded not guilty, was accused of covering up a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to silence her about an alleged affair. Despite defense arguments that the prosecution failed to prove intent to defraud, the jury was convinced by evidence, including testimony from Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen. Each count carries a maximum four-year prison sentence, making this the first criminal conviction of a U.S. president.
