New York Judge Juan Merchan announced a verdict has been reached in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
It will be announced in the next thirty minutes, CNN reported, after the jury finishes filling out its verdict forms.
The jurors will need to unanimously vote to either convict or acquit Trump over allegations that he falsified business records to conceal supposed hush money payments. He has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying his business records, and the jury will need to reach a verdict on each one.
Possible outcomes of the verdict include a mixed verdict, where they find Trump guilty on some charges, and innocent on others; a “hung” jury where they failed to come to a unanimous verdict, and the judge would declare it a mistrial, conviction on all counts, or full acquittal.
The verdict will come after more than 11 hours of deliberation across two days.
