The jury in Donald Trump's 'hush money' trial reaches a verdict after less than two days of deliberations in New York.
The jury in Donald Trump 's " hush money " trial has reached a verdict after less than two days of deliberations in New York.
Mr Trump still faces three other criminal cases – two relating to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election result, and one over the handling of classified documents. Cohen, whose work for Mr Trump included being his "fixer", paid $US130,000 to Ms Daniels during the 2016 election campaign to stop her speaking publicly about a previous sexual encounter.
Cohen testified against Mr Trump, saying his former boss instructed him to make the payment as part of a plan to prevent bad press and preserve his electoral prospects – a so-called "catch-and-kill" scheme. In two cases – when a Trump Tower doorman was claiming Mr Trump fathered a child out of wedlock, and when a former Playboy playmate was claiming she'd had an affair with Mr Trump – the National Enquirer paid for exclusive rights to the story, then did not run them.
