Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, making him the first former president to be convicted of a felony.

The 12-person jury in the hush money trial returned their verdict late Thursday afternoon after deliberations went for approximately 11 hours.

Trump was found guilty of counts that included general ledger entries in his business records that prosecutors said covered up repaying his then- attorney Michael Cohen who paid porn actor Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair.

The jury in New York v. Trump found former President Trump guilty of charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged former President Donald Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Each count carries a maximum prison sentence of 4 years. 

Judge Juan Merchan invited the jury into the courtroom to read its verdict after deliberations.

Jurors found that the former president committed crimes. Here’s the latest.

Donald J. Trump has been convicted of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal that threatened his ascent to the White House in 2016, part of a scheme that prosecutors described as a fraud on the American people. He is the first American president to be declared a felon, a stain he will carry as he seeks to regain the presidency.

Former President Trump’s hush money trial briefly devolved into a rowdy scene on Monday after the judge admonished a witness brought to the stand by Trump’s defense team.

The witness, lawyer Robert Costello, elicited a tense exchange with Judge Juan Merchan over his decorum in the courtroom, where at one point the judge demanded to know if he was being stared down.

Investment firms led by the former CEO of the SPAC that merged with Donald Trump’s media company allege that their files were hacked and stolen by a current member of the media company’s board of directors.

In a federal civil lawsuit filed in South Florida last month, the firms accuse board member Eric Swider of plotting a coup in early 2023 to replace Patrick Orlando as CEO of the special purpose acquisition company, Digital World Acquisition Corp.

Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s former chief financial officer, was sentenced to five months in prison after he admitted to lying during the ex-president’s New York civil fraud trial.

Weisselberg, 76, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court Wednesday morning for a two-minute sentencing hearing before Judge Laurie Peterson.

The ex-Trump money wizard, wearing a black jacket and blue sweatpants, did not make a statement in court. He was cuffed and led away from the hearing by court officers.

Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, has been sentenced to five months in jail for lying under oath about his role in Donald Trump’s financial statements, according to The Associated Press.

Last month, Weisselberg pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury after reaching a deal with prosecutors from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

“Weisselberg looks forward to putting this situation behind him,” Seth L. Rosenberg, one of his lawyers, said at the time.

Former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg was sentenced on Wednesday to five months in jail after pleading guilty last month to perjury charges for lying to investigators and a judge about Donald Trump's finances.

Judge Laurie Peterson handed down the sentence at a hearing in Manhattan criminal court. The sentence was in line with the punishment the judge said she would impose at Weisselberg's March 4 plea hearing.
