Trump Found Guilty: 34 Felony Counts of Falsifying Business Records
Manhattan Jury's Verdict

Charges and Indictment
Trump was indicted in connection with a scheme to conceal payments to two women who alleged affairs with him during the 2016 presidential campaign. The payments were allegedly made to prevent damage to Trump's reputation and election chances.
Trial and Conviction
The trial lasted for three weeks and featured testimony from several witnesses, including former Trump Organization employees and the two women who received the payments. The jury deliberated for two days before reaching their verdict.
Consequences and Appeal
Trump faces up to 15 years in prison for each count, although it is likely he will receive a lesser sentence. He has said he will appeal the conviction.
