A jury in New York found him guilty of forging corporate documents to rig elections.
In the days leading up to the 2016 election, Trump was at the center of a “hush money” plot to purchase a porn star’s silence.
These seven elements contributed to the man’s conviction, who in six months may run for president once more.
The covert audio recording
What then must we pay for this? 150?” In a chat with his attorney Michael Cohen, Donald Trump is heard saying something that he was unaware was being taped.
He was alluding to playboy model Karen McDougal’s $150,000 (£117,000) settlement as hush money.
The payment and Trump’s remarks about it contributed to the establishment of the hush money scam and Trump’s role in it.
The porn star and the president
Stormy Daniels’ painstaking, at times excruciating evidence demonstrated to the jury why Donald Trump would have attempted to suppress her testimony.
They got together for a picture at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in 2006. Trump disputes that he ever invited her to have sex in his hotel suite.
