Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors worked to prove that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to former pornographic star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to quiet her claims of an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
Trump continued in his comments Wednesday that he will win the 2024 election despite the trial.

"President Trump is innocent. He did not commit any crimes. The district attorney did not meet the burden of proof. Period," Trump attorney Todd Blanche said.
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass made a more than five-hour closing argument Tuesday that lasted until 8 p.m. Tuesday, telling the jury that his office had presented "powerful" evidence against Trump.

"The name of the game was concealment and all roads lead inescapably to the man who benefited the most: the defendant, former President Donald Trump," Steinglass said.
