Trump Found Guilty in Hush Money Trial, Sentencing Set Before GOP Convention

Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 felony counts in a historic hush-money trial in New York, marking the first time a US president has been convicted of a crime. The charges relate to falsifying business documents to cover up a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Trump, who faces up to four years in prison for each count, has denied the charges and plans to appeal. The verdict could significantly impact the 2024 election, where Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee.

Trump's Legal Battles: From Defamation Trials to Judge Attacks

The "Access Hollywood" tape and two women who accused Donald Trump of abuse will not be presented to the New York jury in the defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump may testify as early as Monday, and the jury is considering whether he owes more than the $5 million awarded to Carroll last spring. Trump's lawyers had argued that he is entitled to testify concerning the tape and the allegations of the other women, but the judge has severely limited what Trump can testify about. Carroll's lawyer plans to show the jury statements Trump has made since her client finished testifying, as they are relevant to the issue of punitive damages.
