> Trump has pleaded not guilty in all of the criminal cases against him,

> Key Background
>
> Trump was found guilty on Thursday following nearly six weeks of trial
> proceedings, as witnesses including Cohen, Daniels, former Trump aide Hope
> Hicks and ex-National Enquirer publisher David Pecker were all called to
> the stand. Cohen, serving as the trial?s key witness, testified Trump
> personally knew about and approved his payment to Daniels in the leadup to
> the 2016 campaign, and was directly involved with the scheme to reimburse
> him. Trump sent Cohen reimbursement checks for $35,000 each throughout
> 2017, which prosecutors argued were falsely labeled as being for legal
> services. Trump?s lawyers maintained Trump did nothing wrong, distancing
> him from the hush money scheme and arguing the checks were properly labeled
> because Cohen was serving as Trump?s attorney at the time. They also sought
> to attack Cohen?s credibility, with Trump attorney Todd Blanche cross-
> examining him for three days and emphasizing Cohen?s history of lying under
> oath. Ultimately, those arguments did not affect the jury?s verdict, and
> jurors reached their verdict after two days of deliberations, finding Trump
> guilty on every charge he was indicted on.
