Trump's hush money case has gone to the jury. What happens now? | amNewYork
Briefly

To convict Trump, the jury must unanimously find he created a fraudulent entry in his company's records, or caused someone else to do so, and that he did so with the intent of violating, or concealing a violation of a state law making it illegal for conspirators to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.
While the jury must agree that something unlawful was done to promote Trump's election, they don't have to be unanimous on what that unlawful thing was. In this case, jurors could choose between three possible unlawful acts.
Jury could find a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act, prohibiting giving more than $2,700 to a presidential campaign. Alternatively, they could consider violations related to corporate contributions to a campaign.
