The 12-person jury unanimously agreed on the verdict after deliberating for two
days, finding that Trump falsified records to cover up a $130,000 payment before
the 2016 election to an adult-film actress to keep her quiet about an alleged
sexual encounter with him years earlier.



Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee in this year’s presidential race.

Can Trump still run for president? Yes. He is eligible to campaign and serve as
president if elected. Here’s everything to know about next steps, what this
means for his candidacy and the other outstanding trials he faces.

What happens next? Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July 11. He faces up to

against what he called a “rigged, disgraceful trial” and emphasizing voters
would deliver the real verdict on Election Day.

records. Falsifying business records is a felony in New York when there is an
“intent to defraud” that includes an intent to “commit another crime or to aid
or conceal” another crime.
