The jury has reached a verdict in the hush money trial of former US President Donald Trump.
Trump, CNN reported, was “straight-faced” when he heard a decision had been reached in the New York City courthouse.
The verdict has not yet been read but is expected immininently.
Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records at his company in connection with an alleged scheme to hide potentially embarrassing stories about him during his 2016 presidential election campaign.
The charge, a felony, rose from reimbursements paid to then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen after he made a $US130,000 ($195,000) hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to silence her claims that she and Trump had sex in 2006.
Trump is accused of misrepresenting Cohenâs reimbursements as legal expenses to hide that they were tied to a hush money payment.
Trump pleaded not guilty and contended the Cohen payments were for legitimate legal services.
He has also denied the alleged extramarital sexual encounter with Daniels.
