Jury deliberations begin in Trump criminal hush money trial

 What you need to know


The jury in Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial has been dismissed for the day after deliberating for more than four hours. The panel of 12 New Yorkers will resume deliberations at 9:30 a.m. ET tomorrow.


The jurors sent two notes today: one requesting to re-hear the judge's jury instructions and one asking to be read back some testimony from witnesses Michael Cohen and David Pecker.


The jury will determine whether Trump is guilty of 34 felony charges of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election. Here's a recap of what happened in the trial.


Trump, who also faces three other criminal cases while running again for president, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. A felony conviction of a former president and presumptive GOP nominee would be unprecedented.
