Trump Guilty on All Charges in Hush Money Case
Jury Finds Trump Guilty After Testimony from Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen
Trump Excoriates Prosecutors and Judge
A New York jury convicted Donald Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, bringing the former president's weekslong trial to a close. The hush money case likely will be the only one of Trump's four ongoing criminal cases that will be heard ahead of the November election.
From the gilded lobby of his Midtown Manhattan tower, Trump denounced the prosecutors and judge involved in his criminal case. He has repeatedly made these kinds of accusations throughout his trial and during his presidency.
The conviction stemmed from testimony by Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who received $130,000 in hush money from Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Cohen testified that Trump directed him to make the payment to suppress Daniels's story about an alleged affair with Trump.
The conviction is a significant blow to Trump, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
