A jury on Could 30 discovered Trump, 78, responsible of 34 felony counts of falsifying enterprise information stemming from a scheme to cover embarrassing particulars about his previous from voters in 2016 that violated New York election regulation.

The case centered on funds he made to Michael Cohen throughout his first yr within the White Home, which reimbursed his longtime former fixer for paying off porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her claims of a sordid sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
