A New York jury on Thursday found former President Donald Trump guilty of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels by his then-personal lawyer before the 2016 election.
Trump is the first former U.S. president to be found guilty of any crime. His sentencing was quickly scheduled for July 11 at 10 a.m. ET.
Trump, who is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, faces a maximum possible sentence of four years in prison for each count. Trump's demeanor did not change during the reading of the verdict. His son Eric Trump looked angry after the jury foreman repeatedly said "guilty" to each count as it was read.
The 12-member jury deliberated less than 10 hours over two days before sending out a note to Judge Juan Merchan saying they had reached a verdict. Before the announcement, Trump, his lawyers, prosecutors and reporters expected the jury to be dismissed for the day at 4:30 p.m.
