Former President Donald Trump found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 election, a historic verdict as he campaigns for the White House again.
This is the first instance where a former or sitting U.S. president has been convicted of criminal charges.
The jury unanimously agreed that Trump falsified records to conceal hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, with sentencing set for July 11.
Prosecutors needed to prove Trump falsified records to further the violation of election laws, focusing on payments made to Michael Cohen for keeping quiet about an alleged affair.
