The tycoon was charged with forging business records, specifically relating to 11 invoices, 12 vouchers and 11 checks.
The jury, composed of 12 New Yorkers, informed the judge of the case, Juan Merchan, of their decision to unanimously declare the former president for fraud and for illegally influencing the elections.
In 2016, Trump intentionally forged documents to conceal the delivery of $130,000 to his former lawyer Michael Cohen under the guise of an advance on legal services.
Really capital was not for Cohen but for adult movie star Stormy Daniels and thus silence a sexual relationship in 2006 that the Republican denies. Payments were made in October, weeks before the elections.
The main incriminating evidence was the testimony of Michael Cohen and the public accusation made by Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The purchase of adult actress silence was part of an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election and an illegal plan to suppress negative information about the candidate to voters.
