Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money case involving payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Following the verdict, Trump criticized the Biden administration, claiming his legal troubles were politically motivated. “We’ll keep fighting… our country’s gone to hell,” Trump said, accusing the current administration of targeting him as a political opponent.
The charges, rooted in falsified business records, involved 11 invoices, 12 vouchers, and 11 checks documenting reimbursement payments to Michael Cohen, who paid Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election. Trump maintains his innocence, denying any affair with Daniels and pleading not guilty to the charges.
The sentencing hearing is set for July 11, as determined by Judge Juan Merchan. This case highlights significant legal and political challenges for Trump, who continues to assert that the country is deeply divided and manipulated by current leadership.
