A New York judge upheld the guilty verdict against President-elect Donald Trump in the hush-money case, despite claims of presidential immunity. Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels. The sentencing is delayed until after the 2024 election. This ruling follows Trump’s recent electoral victory.
A comment posted on a public Facebook page suggests a juror in former President Trump’s trial may have discussed the guilty verdict ahead of time. Judge Juan Merchan notified Trump’s defense team and Manhattan prosecutors about the comment, which was made by a user identifying as ‘Michael Anderson.’ Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree after a six-week trial.
