their relationship and all that attention that it s getting. i m probably going to get some hate online for making any comment about that. thank you so much for joining us this afternoon around. always a pleasure. the lever jake tapper starts right now 34 convictions. but what happens next? the leader starts right now donald trump takes to the mic, airing familiar grievances and railing against the historic guilty verdict in the hush money case. what the trump team s plan we re going to talk tell you moving forward. potential trump vice presidential pick senator tim scott will be here and i ll also talk with republican senator rick scott of florida, who s running a replace mitch mcconnell plus senate republican leader plus one of trump s targets today as former fixer, michael cohen. how does he feel now that his former boss is a convicted felon, michael cohen s lawyer joins me, lie and president biden announces a new proposal for a ceasefire in gaza. it will bring hostages
those counts stem from a salacious hush money payment to an adult film star and the cover-up coordinated between trump, his former attorney michael cohen and head of the national inquirer, david pecker. this case was about a conspiracy to interfere in the 2016 election. we knew nothing about that until after the election was over thanks to some enterprising reporting from the wall street journal but prosecutors were reluctant to bring charges for some time. for years, this case against trump had effectively laid dormant. after six years of waiting and six years of trial and two years of deliberation, the jury of 12 ordinary americans found donald trump guilty on all 34 counts this afternoon. trump s fate is now in the hands of the judge, one mershon, who is scheduled a sentencing hearing for july 11th which is just four days before the republican national convention and while most experts agree prison time is unlikely, it s possible. trump is expected to hold a press conferen

that is what this entailed trial is about. nada tawfik has been following all the twists and turns. i think we can go to her now. just bring us up to date. absolutely, we have heard thejudge has announced he will call the jury in. we were called in for the jury reading out whether they have found donald trump guilty or not guilty on the 34 donald trump guilty or not guilty on the 3a counts of comp to falsifying it as is. then the otherjurors will have to agree. if donald trump is found guilty onjust have to agree. if donald trump is found guilty on just one of those. he will be a convicted felon. a lot at stake clearly for it on from here. he is clearly hoping that this swift decision not too swift, 11 hours, but that this decision coming on the second day of deliberations will be one that is favourable to him. but we are hearing a lot of tense atmosphere at the defence table right now. donald trump, who was just table right now. donald trump, who wasjustjoking table right
