Former President Donald Trump was convicted in New York on May 30, 2024, for falsifying business records. This historic verdict marks the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of felony crimes. Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts related to a scheme involving hush money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleged an affair with Trump in 2006.
The conviction centers on Trump's efforts to influence the 2016 election by concealing the payment of $130,000 to Daniels through his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. The prosecution argued that the payments, recorded as legal expenses, were meant to hide the true nature of the transactions and mislead voters. Trump has consistently denied the affair and claimed the payments were legitimate legal expenses, not intended to influence the election.
Throughout the trial, Trump maintained his innocence, arguing that the case was politically motivated. Despite his conviction, he plans to appeal the verdict and continue his political activities, including fundraising efforts for his 2024 presidential campaign. Sentencing is scheduled for July 11, 2024, and Trump faces up to four years in prison​.
