Trump Hush Money Trial LIVE | Jury To Decide Trump’s Fate | Trump Slams Jury LIVE | US News | N18L

Jurors in Donald Trump’s hush money trial return for a second day of deliberations on Thursday (May 30), applying extra scrutiny to a pair of high-profile witnesses as they weigh the fate of the first U.S. president to be charged with a crime. It was unclear when the 12 jurors and six alternates would reach a verdict that could potentially upend Trump’s hopes of recapturing the White House from Democratic President Joe Biden as the Republican candidate in the Nov. 5 election. A conviction will not prevent Trump from campaigning for the presidency. Nor will it prevent him from taking office if he wins. Jurors have asked Justice Juan Merchan to repeat the detailed instructions he had given them to guide their deliberations. New York prosecutors have charged Trump, 77, with falsifying business documents to try to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies wrongdoing.
