Trump became the first former president of the United States to be charged with a crime
After two days of deliberations, 12 jurors announced that they had found Trump guilty on all 34 counts. Trump, 77, is expected to appeal.
He can be sentenced to a maximum of four years in prison, and usually offenders convicted of this crime often receive a simple sentence, a fine, or probation. The prison sentence will not prevent him from campaigning or winning.
The Republican presidential candidate himself commented on the decision: "My civil rights have been completely violated by this highly political, unconstitutional, anti-election witch hunt. All over the world they are laughing at our unfortunate people!"
It refers to the period of 2016, when Trump campaigned. According to the investigation, her lawyer, Michael Cohen, transferred $130,000 to Daniels in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement.
The former US president's company, the Trump Organization, listed this amount in documents as funds for legal fees. Investigators believe it was a deliberate falsification of financial documents.
Trump considers his trial "political harassment" and interference in the 2024 presidential election, in which he intends to run.
