Live Updates: Jurors Commence Second Day of Deliberations in Hush Money Case Involving Trump’s Trial

The fate of former President Donald Trump hangs in the balance as the jury in his hush money trial continues to deliberate. The trial, which centers around allegations of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels, has captivated the nation.

In closing arguments, defense lawyer Todd Blanche attacked the credibility of key witness Michael Cohen, labeling him the “GLOAT” (Greatest Liar Of All Time) and raising doubts about the case against Trump. On the other hand, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass meticulously laid out the evidence, emphasizing that the case was about Trump’s actions, not Cohen’s.

The jury must find beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump falsified business records with the intent to defraud in order to reach a guilty verdict. With the trial being the first-ever criminal case against a former American president, the stakes are high.

As the jury deliberates, Trump has taken to social media to proclaim his innocence, claiming he did nothing wrong and that the case against him is ridiculous. The outcome of the trial will have far-reaching implications, not just for Trump but for the future of American politics.

Stay tuned for updates as the jury reaches a decision in this historic trial.
