Decision set to be revealed soon. - The jury has made a decision in Trump's trial.
On Thursday, the Manhattan court disclosed that a verdict in the case against Donald Trump is imminent.
URGENT UPDATE: The jury of seven men and five women have been taking in testimonies from witnesses since mid-April. They have been deliberating since Wednesday. The prosecution claims that Trump, motivated by a desire to enhance his chances of success in the 2016 presidential election, paid $130,000 in hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and falsified records with his former lawyer Michael Cohen to mask the genuine purpose of the transaction.
The payment itself wasn't illegal, but Trump is being charged with manipulating records that could've resulted in 34 instances of illegal campaign financing. Trump's defense insisted it was merely regular attorney fees.
In the case of a guilty verdict, Trump may be facing years in prison, potentially suspended, along with potential fines. If he is convicted, Judge Juan Merchan would determine the length of his sentence at a future date. Even if the conviction is legally valid, Trump could still engage in the presidential election in November.
