Former President Trump has been found guilty in his criminal hush money trial. The New York jury just returned its verdict. He could face four years in prison depending on the judge’s sentence, which will happen later. He was charged with falsifying records before the 2016 election to hide payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Trump will almost certainly appeal his conviction. The appeal process could take months or longer, likely delaying any punishment doled out by the judge in the case past Election Day. Trump’s legal team would face the Appellate Division in Manhattan.
