NextImg:Donald Trump found guilty of falsifying business records

A jury delivered a guilty verdict Thursday on all thirty-four felony counts of falsifying business records in former president Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial.

The jury deliberated for just a couple of days before returning its verdict, although they did go back to the judge several times asking for a re-read of the instructions and testimony from former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.

Trump was in the courtroom when the verdict was returned, as was Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the charges. According to the New York Times’s Jesse McKinley, reporting from the scene, “He is largely expressionless, a glum look on his face, as ‘guilty’ has just been heard thirty-four times.”

“This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump told reporters outside the courtroom. “The real verdict is going to be November 5 by the people. They know what happened here. Everyone knows what happened here.

“I’m a very innocent man,” he said, before pivoting to a stump speech. “This is far from over,” he concluded.

Trump is the first US president to ever be convicted of a crime.
