The jury in Donald Trump's hush money trial announced on Thursday, May 30, in a note to the court that it has reached a verdict.
The note said jurors requested a short time more to prepare before being able to announce the verdict.
Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star on the eve of his 2016 election win: At the heart of the charges are reimbursements paid to Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in exchange for not going public with her claim about a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.
Prosecutors say the reimbursements were falsely logged as "legal expenses" to hide the true nature of the transactions.
Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, charges which are punishable by up to four years in prison. He has denied all wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.
The case is the first of Trump's four indictments to reach trial and is the first-ever criminal case against a former US president.
