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. The verdict was delivered by a 12-person jury in New York on Thursday.
The charges against Trump stem from falsified business records related to reimbursement payments to Michael Cohen, who initially paid Daniels $130,000. The jury examined 11 invoices, 12 vouchers, and 11 checks that documented these transactions, each contributing to the counts of falsifying business records.
This conviction marks a significant legal setback for Trump, as it directly connects him to efforts to cover up the hush money payments through meticulous documentation of the financial transactions over several months in 2017.
