Jury finds Trump guilty on 34 counts; first president convicted of felony: Live updates

Jurors found former President Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, making him the first former president to be convicted of a felony.

The jurors reached a verdict in late afternoon, after less than 12 hours of deliberation in the hush money criminal case.

The 12 New Yorkers on Trump’s jury reached a unanimous decision on his fate, eliminating the possibility of a hung jury.

Trump faced 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment his ex-fixer, Michael Cohen, made to porn actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to keep secret her alleged affair with Trump a decade prior until after votes were cast. Trump denies the affair and has pleaded not guilty.
