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.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is demanding that the Justice Department "take immediate action" to prosecute ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen for making false statements and admitting to stealing during the unprecedented criminal trial of former President Trump.

Michael Cohen admitted on the witness stand Monday that he stole from the Trump Organization, according to multiple reports.

Cohen testified Monday that he lied to former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg in 2017 about how much he needed to be reimbursed for a payment to the tech company RedFinch. While he asked for $50,000, Cohen testified that he only gave the company $20,000.

“You stole from the Trump Organization, correct?” Trump’s defense attorney Todd Blanche asked, according to ABC News.

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.

Michael Cohen testified Monday during Donald Trump’s hush money trial that he made millions from books and a podcast that are centered on Cohen’s grievances with the former president.

Cohen said he raked in more than $3 million from his books Disloyal and Revenge and $1 million from his podcast Mea Culpa since the fall of 2020, estimating that his earnings totaled $4.4 million.

Donald Trump finally had a good day in court.

The presumptive GOP nominee has often seemed embarrassed and infuriated by his first criminal trial, which has featured salacious exposés of his personal life and details of his alleged attempts to cover it up.

Michael Cohen's lengthy cross-examination is having a major effect on Donald Trump's hush-money trial, legal analysts have said.

David Ring, a partner in the Taylor & Ring law firm in Los Angeles, told Newsweek that the jury's attitude to Trump will largely determine how they view Cohen's many personal failings.

The prosecution in the Trump hush money trial apparently plans to rest its case on Friday after the testimony of Michael Cohen.

The news is surprising. It’s highly unusual for prosecutors to rest without introducing at least some evidence showing that the charges against the defendant are valid. Former President Donald Trump apparently is an unusual defendant.

Everyone knows the theme of the prosecution: Trump conspired to corrupt the 2016 election, and then the conspiracy covered it up with fake business records.
