Trump is accused of paying adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 through his lawyer so as to silence her over their sexual encounter. The jury also found the President-elect guilty of falsfying documents so as to conceal it.
“It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department,” said Trump
The 45th President is however expected to appeal the case as setting it aside by the court would also undermine the rule of law.
