Jury deliberations began in Donald Trump’s hush money trial with a diverse jury of 12 New Yorkers tasked with deciding the case. The former president faces 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, which he allegedly misrepresented as legal expenses to conceal its true purpose. Trump, maintaining his innocence and denying the affair with Daniels, criticized the trial as unfair. Deliberations follow intense closing arguments and include detailed jury instructions on assessing evidence and witness credibility.
