Trump Hush Money Trial Nears End as Verdict Looms

Jurors in Donald Trump's hush money trial are set to begin deliberations after receiving legal instructions from the judge on factors to consider in reaching a verdict. In their closing arguments, prosecutors accused Trump of conspiring to cover up hush money payments, and the defense called star witness Michael Cohen untrustworthy. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments made during the 2016 campaign to silence women alleging affairs with Trump. If convicted, Trump could face up to 4 years in prison per count, though prosecutors may not seek jail time, and the judge has discretion on sentencing.
