Donald Trump Convicted of Falsifying Business Documents to Conceal Hush Money Payment

In a historic verdict, Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime while in office. A New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business documents related to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The conviction carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison, though Trump is likely to face a shorter sentence or even probation. The verdict comes as Trump faces multiple other criminal investigations and could significantly impact his bid for reelection in November.
