Former US President Donald Trump has been convicted in the secret money case. After a two-day hearing on the case, a 12-member jury found him guilty on all 34 charges.
This is the first time in US history that a current or former president has been criminally prosecuted. Trump has been accused 34 times of concealing payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence before the 2016 presidential election and tampering with his business records. He has been found guilty on all these charges. Trump has denied all charges of document tampering. He has also denied having sex with Stormy Daniels.
The sentence was announced on July 11
Justice Juan Marchen will announce his sentence on July 11. The verdict against Trump will come as the Republican National Convention is set to begin on July 15, when the party will formally announce Trump as its presidential nominee.
What is the matter?
Donald Trump had physical relations with Stormy Daniels in 2006. This matter was very much discussed during the 2016 presidential election. Stormy was threatening to make this incident public, after which Trump paid her secretly. Trump has been convicted of manipulating business records to hide the payment of $ 130,000 to Daniels. Stormy Daniels had earlier told the court that when she first saw Trump, she was wearing silk pajamas. Describing the incident, Stormy Daniels said that Trump asked me about my career in the adult industry. He asked if I have been tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
It is worth noting that opinion polls have shown a tough competition between Trump and Biden. If Trump is convicted, Trump may get independent support.
