The jury that will decide Donald Trump’s fate in his criminal hush money trial has reached a verdict, the New York judge says on Thursday.
Court officials did not say whether the jury had found Trump guilty or not guilty of falsifying business documents to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
The jury is expected to announce its verdict shortly.
Trump, 77, has pleaded not guilty and denies having had the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Daniels.
