Former President Donald Trump's hush money trial verdict
Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 election, a historic verdict that makes him the first U.S. president to be convicted of criminal charges. The jury unanimously agreed that Trump concealed a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The verdict came after a trial where 22 witnesses testified over four weeks. Trump's defense argued that influencing an election is not illegal. Sentencing is set for July 11.
