Jury begins deliberations in Trump hush money trial

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – With closing arguments wrapped up it’s only a matter of time before we get the final verdict in the Donald Trump hush money case.

Four weeks of testimony have led to this moment as the jury is expected to start deliberations Wednesday morning.

“It’s a very sad day. This is a dark day in America,” said Trump.

The clock is ticking for former president Donald Trump as the arguments are wrapped up and the country waits for the jury’s verdict.

“We have a rigged court case that should have never been brought,” said Trump.

Trump was accompanied by his kids Eric, Don Jr, and daughter-in-law Lara who all questioned the validity of the case involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, by Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.

“If there is a GOAT of liars, it is Michael Cohen,” said Donald Trump, Jr.

The defense needs to convince at least one juror that the former president is not guilty.

“We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot,” said actor Robert DeNiro.

Biden-Harris campaign surrogates, including Robert DeNiro, took time outside the courthouse to talk about Trump and the damage he does to the country.

“He’s looking out for one person and that’s Donald Trump and we’re going to make sure the American people know that,” said Biden Campaign Communications Spokesperson Michael Tyler.

It is now up to the jury to evaluate the 34 counts of falsifying business records and these charges are punishable by up to four years in prison.
