Donald Trump Found Guilty on 34 Counts

Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty by a jury of 12 New Yorkers on all 34 counts of felony falsification of business records, specifically related to hush money payments during the 2016 presidential election. This historic verdict marks the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime, setting a significant legal precedent. The charges were not solely about the hush money payments but also focused on the falsification of these payments as business records paid back to Michael Cohen under the guise of retainers. Trump's campaign faces challenges in how to respond and potentially undermine the verdict.
