The jury in Donald Trump's hush money trial has reached a verdict, signalling a highly anticipated culmination of the first criminal case against a former American president.
"It's all rigged. The whole thing, the whole system is rigged," he said. It's the same language he used to try to inoculate himself against losses in the 2020 presidential election and Iowa's 2016 GOP primary. Trump has pleaded not guilty and contends the Cohen payments were for legitimate legal services. He has also denied the alleged extramarital sexual encounter with Daniels.
The jurors, a diverse cross section of Manhattan residents and professional backgrounds, often appeared riveted by testimony, including from Cohen and Daniels. Many took notes and watched intently as witnesses answered questions. Jurors also reheard Pecker's account of a phone call he said he received from Trump in which they discussed a rumour that another outlet had offered to buy former Playboy model Karen McDougal's story that she had a yearlong affair with Trump in the mid-2000s. Trump denies the affair.
"I called Michael Cohen, and I said to him that the agreement, the assignment deal, is off. I am not going forward. It is a bad idea, and I want you to rip up the agreement," Pecker testified. "He was very, very, angry. Very upset. Screaming, basically, at me."------ Jury in Donald Trump's hush money case has reached a verdict, asks for additional 30 minutes to fill out form
