A New York jury on Thursday found former President Donald Trump guilty of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels by his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen before the 2016 election.

His sentencing for the hush money case was scheduled for July 11 at 10 a.m.

That is just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the twice-impeached Trump is set to be formally confirmed as the GOP's presidential nominee.

Former U.S. President Trump walks alongside his attorney Todd Blanche after a jury found him guilty of all 34 felony counts in his criminal trial at New York State Supreme Court in New York, New York, U.S., 30 May 2024.

Cohen said Trump directed him to pay Daniels to prevent her from damaging his chance of winning the White House in 2016.

He said he did little if any actual legal work for Trump in the period covered by the business records.

His son Eric Trump looked angry after the jury foreman repeatedly said "guilty" to each count as it was read. »
