Donald Trump Guilty For Paying Stormy Daniel's Hush 😹😹 Money ! Trump's Fans Raised Over $58 Mil

This is the first time a former or sitting U.S. president has been convicted of criminal charges.

The jurors said they unanimously agreed that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

“This was a rigged, disgraceful trial,” an angry Trump told reporters after leaving the courtroom. “The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people. They know what happened, and everyone knows what happened here.”

Judge Juan M. Merchan set sentencing for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where GOP leaders, who remained resolute in their support in the aftermath of the verdict, are expected to formally make him their nominee.

In 2018, Stormy Daniels alleged that she had an affair with Trump in 2006, which Trump denied.
- Daniels sued Trump for defamation over a tweet where he called her a "liar."
- Trump's lawyers argued that the tweet was protected by the First Amendment as free speech.
- In 2018, Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, admitted to paying Daniels $130,000 in hush money during the 2016 presidential campaign.
- Cohen claimed that Trump had instructed him to make the payment to influence the election.
- In 2019, a federal judge dismissed Daniels' defamation lawsuit against Trump.
- In 2020, Daniels published a book detailing her alleged affair with Trump.
- In 2023, Trump was indicted on charges related to the hush money payment, including falsifying business records and violating campaign finance laws.

The legal battle between Trump and Daniels has been ongoing for years, with multiple lawsuits, countersuits, and investigations. It's a complex and controversial case involving free speech, defamation, and election law.
