NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – The jury in Donald Trump’s hush money trial has reached a series of guilty verdicts after signaling a highly anticipated culmination of the first criminal case against a former American president.
The verdict from the 12-person jury was delivered Thursday in the Manhattan courtroom where prosecutors spent weeks presenting allegations that Trump participated in a hush money scheme aimed at suppressing stories he feared could be harmful to his 2016 presidential campaign. The jury found him guilty on all 34 counts he faced.
Reporters in the courtroom said that Trump stared directly at each one of the jurors as they confirmed their verdict one by one. None of them met his gaze, reporters noted.
Trump immediately affirmed that he will appeal the verdict. "I'm a very innocent man," he said after the verdict, blaming President Joe Biden for the trial and adding that's he's fighting for the Constitution.
