Trump's Conviction on 34 Felony Counts

Donald Trump, a former and possibly future U.S. president, has been found guilty on 34 counts in a criminal trial. The case originated in 2006 when Trump allegedly had a sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump's involvement escalated during the presidential campaign, where efforts were made to suppress unfavorable stories, leading to a payment orchestrated by Michael Cohen to Daniels. The trial involved falsification of business records to cover up these events, resulting in Trump's conviction in 2023.
