Trump Convicted on All 34 Felony Counts in Hush Money Trial

Former President Found Guilty of Falsifying Business Records

Landmark Verdict for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg

Former President Donald Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records by a New York jury on Thursday. The verdict marks the first time a former U.S. president has been found guilty of a felony, and represents a major victory for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The charges against Trump stemmed from payments made by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to two women who alleged they had affairs with Trump. Trump was accused of directing Cohen to make the payments to silence the women before the 2016 presidential election.

The jury deliberated for less than two days before reaching a verdict. The guilty verdict on all counts is a significant setback for Trump, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
