Former President Trump Found Guilty on All Counts

NEW YORK (AP) — The jury in Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial has found the former president guilty of all 34 felony counts against him.

They delivered their verdict late Thursday afternoon after two days of deliberations that spanned 9 1/2 hours. Prosecutors accused Trump of falsifying internal business records to cover up hush money payments tied to an alleged scheme to bury stories that might torpedo his 2016 White House bid.

He has denied any wrongdoing and had pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Trump sat stone-faced with his eyes looking down as the verdict finished being read.
