Trump found guilty on all 34 counts in hush money case

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.

Trump has denied the affair and had pleaded not guilty.

The judge has set a sentencing date of July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention in which Trump is expected to be officially named the 2024 GOP nominee for president.
