In a landmark ruling, former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all counts in his hush money trial. This makes him the first US president to ever be convicted in a criminal trial. After deliberating for over 11 hours, a jury of 12 New Yorkers reached a unanimous verdict at the end of the second day of trial.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense as everyone awaited the verdict. According to reports, Trump was initially seen smiling, but he quickly became serious when the judge entered the room to announce the jury's decision. He crossed his arms and whispered to his lawyers, maintaining a stoic expression throughout the proceedings.
Trump's second eldest son, Eric Trump, was present in the courtroom to support his father. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg also made an appearance, taking a seat behind the prosecutors. As the jury asked for an additional 30 minutes to fill out their verdict sheet, the tension in the room only intensified.
The whole trial has been closely watched by the media and the public, with many speculating on the possible outcome. Trump himself has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He has denied any sexual encounter with Daniels and any involvement in the payment.
Throughout the trial, Trump has been vocal about his belief that the charges against him are politically motivated. He has even compared himself to a Roman Catholic saint, saying that even Mother Teresa wouldn't be able to beat these charges. On the first day of deliberations, his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, shared a lighthearted TikTok video of himself writing "mean tweets" while snacking on junk food.
But despite his protests, the jury has spoken and Trump now faces a potential sentence of probation to four years in prison. As the news of his conviction spreads, the world waits to see how he will react. Will he accept the verdict or continue to claim that the trial was rigged against him? Only time will tell.
