A 12-person grand jury began evaluating Trump’s charges on Wednesday. The identity of the jury has been protected against misuse.
In the United States, a jury has decided that the former president Donald Trump is guilty of falsifying accounting after paying an adult entertainment actor to keep quiet by Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
The jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts.
Judge Juan Merchan says the judgment chapter date is July 11th.
After the verdict, Judge Merchan thanked the jury for their service and for giving the trial the attention it deserved.
– You were faced with a difficult and stressful task. You gave it the attention it deserved, Merchan said.
Trump: An organized trial
After the decision, Trump shook hands with his son Eric Trump serious and left the courtroom “with a red face”, reports the news channel CNN.
Shortly after the jury’s decision, Trump commented on the trial as shameful and its outcome as “arranged”. He adds that the “real decision” is expected in the November 5th US presidential election.
