Jury reaches verdict in Donald Trump's hush money case

The jury has reached a verdict in the historic criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

The verdict in the first criminal case against a former president will be read shortly in the New York City courtroom where Trump has been on trial since April 15.

“We the jury have a verdict. We would like an extra 30 minutes to fill out the forms if that’d be possible,” the jury's 4:20 p.m. note said, which was read aloud in court by Judge Juan Merchan.

The jury deliberated for about 9.5 hours. Trump was in the courtroom awaiting the verdict, sitting with his arms crossed.

Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election. He pleaded not guilty.
