A New York jury has found Donald Trump guilty of multiple crimes during his hush money trial, making him the first former US president to be convicted of crimes.
Trump was found guilty Thursday of all 34 counts of falsifying corporate records to conceal a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election. Prosecutors said Trump led a broader scheme to influence the election by covering up stories about his alleged sexual encounters with women.
Sentencing is set for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention where Trump will be nominated for the presidential race.
