DEVELOPING…

The jury spent most of the morning revisiting key witness testimony and having the judge repeat some of the jury instructions he delivered yesterday. 

They’ve been weighing whether to convict the former president on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up so-called “hush money” payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. 

Trump denies that he had an affair with Daniels and therefore says the case is not about “hush money,” it was about preventing her accusations from being made public. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. 

Trump said earlier, “The whole world is watching, and it’s a very sad day for New York. I’ve gone through two of these trials already. It’s a very… with the same kind of a judge. It’s all worked. It’s all rigged. The whole thing. The whole system is rigged.”
