Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, faces charges related to a payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Jurors in the criminal hush money trial of former President Donald Trump are set to begin deliberating a potential verdict Wednesday, after they receive instructions from a judge in a New York courtroom.
Trump’s lawyer and a prosecutor gave closing arguments all day Tuesday and into the early evening.
The case marks the first time a former U.S. president has faced criminal charges.
But Trump also faces three other criminal cases, none of which is currently expected to start trial before November, when the Republican is on track to face President Joe Biden in a rematch of their 2020 contest.
Trump is accused in this case of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to reimbursements he and his company, the Trump Organization, gave his then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen for paying porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
