Trump found guilty: Read the court transcript of the hush money trial's final day
History was made Thursday afternoon when a Manhattan jury handed down a guilty verdict to former president Donald Trump.
Judge Juan Merchan was poised to dismiss the jury for the evening on their second day of deliberating when he received the note.
The jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to disguise the hush money payment issued to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election as legal expenses. Trump is expected to appeal the decision.
Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, but you can experience the historic moment through court transcripts:

What's next for Donald Trump?
Judge Juan Merchan has scheduled Trump's sentencing for July 11, and Trump is out free until then.
Because this is Trump's first felony offense, his sentence is likely to be as light as probation or home confinement. If he does receive a prison sentence, it would probably be less than a year.
Trump is also likely to appeal the conviction, further pushing down any chance he serves jailtime before the election.
