Trump Found Guilty in Historic Hush Money Trial
Former President Faces Charges Including Bribery and Fraud
Jury Finds Trump Guilty on All 34 Counts
After two days of deliberations, a jury in Manhattan has found former United States President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts in his criminal trial. The historic verdict marks the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.
The trial involved charges of bribery, fraud, and campaign finance violations stemming from hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The jury found Trump guilty on all counts, including: scheme to defraud the United States, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws, and falsifying business records.
The verdict is a major blow to Trump, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and called the trial a "witch hunt."
The guilty verdict could have significant implications for Trump's political future and could potentially bar him from running for office again.
