A jury finds the former president guilty on all counts in the New York hush money trial. The Republican is now the first former US president to have to live with the stigma of being a convicted criminal.
The defendant had long avoided looking directly at the twelve jurors, even when the jury spokesman in the New York trial against Donald Trump said the word “guilty” 34 times in a row on Thursday evening. Namely, each time Judge Juan Merchan read out another charge against Trump. When the jury spokesman said the word for the last time, Trump had been found guilty on all counts of the charge. In short: for falsifying accounts with the aim of illegally influencing the election. It was an unprecedented moment in US history.
