Jurors in the New York criminal trial against former President Donald Trump have convicted him of 34 felony counts of falsified business records.

The jurors said they unanimously agreed that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
