Jury deliberations have begun in the historic criminal trial against former President Donald Trump concerning hush money payments. The jury, instructed by the judge on Wednesday, is tasked with deciding on 34 counts of falsifying business records. These deliberations come after weeks of testimony, and the jury must determine whether Trump falsified records to commit a second crime, such as violating New York election law. The jury is expected to reach a verdict soon.
