Trump found guilty in hush-money case
Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to hide stories about extramarital affairs that surfaced during his 2016 presidential campaign. Over a month, jurors heard testimony on sex, bookkeeping, tabloid journalism, and presidential politics.
PHOENIX - Former President Trump has been found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a criminal case in New York.
