The jury in Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial has a verdict.

Deliberations began late on Wednesday morning and continued on Thursday after the jury re-heard some testimony and a portion of the jury instructions.

Just before Judge Juan Merchan was going to dismiss the jury for the day, at 4:30pm, they notified the court they had returned a verdict.

Mr Trump was accused of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment made to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels in October 2016 to ensure her silence about a sexual encounter she says she had with him a decade earlier.

The former president was found guilty on all counts, becoming the first criminally convicted US president in history.

Mr Trump – who refused to testify in his own defence – faces up to four years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.

He will be sentenced on 11 July at 10am ET (2pm GMT).
