BREAKING: Jury Finds Trump Guilty in Hush Money Case
Live Updates and Latest News
Trump found guilty on all charges related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
In a stunning verdict, a New York jury has found former President Donald Trump guilty on all charges in the hush money case stemming from payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The conviction is a major blow to Trump, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. The charges against him included conspiracy to commit campaign finance violations, campaign finance violations, and falsifying business records.
The jury reached its verdict after hearing testimony from Daniels and other witnesses. Daniels testified that she was paid $130,000 by Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to keep quiet about an alleged affair with Trump.
Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in connection with the hush money payments and has been cooperating with prosecutors. He testified that Trump directed him to make the payments to Daniels.
The conviction is the latest in a series of legal setbacks for Trump. He is currently facing a criminal investigation in Georgia over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, and he is also facing a civil lawsuit from the New York Attorney General's office alleging that he defrauded donors to his charity.
