New York Jury Convicts Trump on All 34 Felony Counts

A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Trump became the first former U.S. president convicted of a felony crime. Judge Juan Merchan set sentencing for July 11, 2024, and Trump remained free on bail pending that hearing.
