>> we have a moment of extraordinary history. it is a moment of unbelievable history unprecedented. we've said that so many times involving donald trump. but truly this moment involving a former us president and the legal system, the criminal justice system in this country of evan tents concept got a consequence. judge merchan is on the bench. we do expect the jury to come forward with their verdict in ten minutes or so. so we are really in the closing minutes and again, we don't know what the verdict is going to be. we know it can't be a hung jury because they've only been doing it for lesson 12 hours. and so that's not enough time to say, hey, we can't come to a conclusion. they it could be 12, it could be 34 counts of acquittal. it could be 34 counts of guilt and conviction. it could be. and one of our experts at least is going out on a limb and said that she thinks that it's possible that it's a mixed verdict because otherwise, why would you need 30? three minutes to go over and check boxes, mug shot, and reading the note into the record one more time. the judge has called for the jury. we are just minutes away from finding out for those wondering what differences there are in the case elie and then tim of the different checks and ledgers, two of them are 12 counts, 124 and counts five to seven. we're not signed by donald trump himself. those were in february and march 2017 all the others counts eight through 34, have to do with invoices, voucher there's checks and stubs and where donald trump was the one who signed the check-in question. >> crucial point here. >> we are about to receive not a verdict or the verdict, but 34 verdicts, and we to take them one at a time because i have seen it happen plenty of times where count one is guilty, and then later on there's a bunch of not guilty. >> i've seen it work count 12 234 are all not guilty. and then the rest of them are guilty. and if there's a split verdict here, which is a possibility one way the jury might decide to split this verdict is to convict on the checks that donald trump signed, but not the other documents. and if that's the case, i can believe the first check that donald trump actually signed is count ten. >> so the judge has called before the jury. he asked both parties the defense and the prosecution, are we ready to bring out the jury? both parties said yes, kaitlan collins, a huge moment in american history and a remarkable shift in demeanor inside the court. jake, of course, as we watched, trump attorney kinda chatting with each other as they were for initially inside the courtroom, laughing, smiling. now when the judge got on the bench at about 4:30 and said that yes, there was indeed your demeanor, and that room, and trump grew quite serious. his son, eric trump, briefly walked out of the room and then return earned in a sitting behind him. i should note, eric trump is the only family member who was going to be in the courtroom when this verdict is read, is basically entirely really locked down inside that room that was the plan all along. we can now hear helicopters circling overhead. is there also planning to increase security precautions because court officials and wanted to make sure that it didn't get crazy outside of the courthouse once it was announced that there was here a verdict in this case, our reporters inside the room say there's a few more court officers also in this room there's usually four or five standing as members of the public have been inside that courtroom just a few, but mainly reporters is well, they're now waiting for the jury to come in after six weeks now in its seventh week, where they have been hearing all this evidence. now deliberating for about ten to 11 hours, roughly inside that brumel so listening to juror instructions, yet again, i've got paula reid and kristen holmes here with me and paul. obviously, no one knows what this verdict is going to be, but they have spent the last 30 minutes so filling out the court forms that they're going to bring in there and read aloud inside that room. yeah. historic documents that they've just filled out. >> both sides of this case. the prosecution and trump's defense attorneys have framed this as some form of election interference. trump has argued that this case was brought against him. it's about 8-years-old because they want to prevent him from getting into the white house. now well, we're gonna go back to jake as i understand it, because a verdict is going to get underway in just a moment all right. >> thank you so much. kaitlan collins, and we're all just trying to speculate here if this is a mixed verdict what might that mean? we still do not know, of course it could be 34 votes of not guilty. you could be 30 four votes of guilty. the jury is right now entering the courtroom to render their verdict on these 34 felony criminal charges against the present former president of the united states, donald john trump, and tim parlatore, you have represented president trump in the past. first of all, are you surprised that a verdict came? so i mean, to me, it seems very quickly we could i thought the weinstein jury was out for six days. i'm not comparing the two, but that was another high-profile case. this was not even 12 hours, right? >> this is a very complicated case. i mean, i do think it's interesting that they told the judge that they have a verdict but then asked for additional time to fill out the form. >> you agree with karen's asked me i do and i also think that they did that because they would normally just say we have the verdict i haven't i haven't seen where they've asked for additional time, but i think they were looking at the clock and saying, hey, if we don't tell the judge now, he's going to send us home. >> we wanted the jurors and the jury and the jury alternates there are six alternates as well. >> all 18 of them are now in the courtroom. tim, please continue. i'm sorry. i think that they wanted to let the judge know. >> hey, don't don't don't discuss this further. let's get it done today. >> i'll tell you right now, this is the most stressful moment. >> and when they read this verdict the majority of defendants that i've represented at this moment, it's so pressurized they can't hear you're shut down and especially when you have this many counts, you're going to have to have one of the lawyers taken it down and a complicated case, when they're done and they say this is the verdict. donald trump is going to turn to his lawyers and he's going to say what did they say? so the judge just turned to the jurors and said we received a note from you signed by your journey 34 person at 4:20 p.m. 420. >> here come the verdicts. we have the verdicts okay? count one is guilty, that a felony charge, gout one, falsifying business. red's account to also guilty falsifying business records in the first degree count three guilty falsifying business records in the first degree count for guilty. that's another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first-degree count five, guilty. that's another falsifying business records in the first-degree felony charge. those so that is five felony charges. that donald trump has been found guilty by this new york jury. we still have 20 t9 other felony counts to go, but that is five guilty verdicts by this jury when it comes to when it comes to falsify felony charges of falsifying business records in the first degree in service of another crime and that crime would be covering up the stormy daniels hush money payment counts six, guilty. so that is six charges, count seven, guilty. that is another charge count eight. guilty. that is yet another charge. eight out of eight. he has been found guilty count nine, guilty so that is nine out of nine count ten, guilty. another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first degree count 11, guilty. another felony, charge of falsifying business records in the first degree count, 12th, guilty. another felony charge of falsifying business records in the first degree, count 13, guilty. another felony charge of falsifying business records in the first degree, count 14 guilty count 15 guilty. that is 15 out of 15 so far count 16, donald trump found guilty. >> 16 out of 16. when it comes to falsifying business records. in the first count 17, guilty. that is from a july 2017 payments to michael cohen count 18, guilty. that is another felony charge. count 19, guilty. another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first degree. count 20, guilty. another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first-degree count 21, 212021, both guilty. this is for an august 2017 payment so is count 22 also guilty? counts 23 guilty. also guilty. donald trump found guilty of a falsifying business records in the first-degree count 24 guilty. another felony charge. count 25, guilty. another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first-degree count 26 guilty. another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first degree. count 27, guilty. another felony charge falsifying business records in the first degree, count 28, guilty. another felony charge, falsifying business records in the first first-degree, count 29, guilty felony, charge of falsifying business records in the first degree account 30. guilty felony charge, falsifying business records counts 31 guilty, falsifying business records in the first degree count 30 32, guilty. falsifying business records in the first degree. only two counts laughed count, 33 former president donald trump found guilty, falsifying business records. count 34 guilty donald trump found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first-degree, all 34, are felonies they donald trump has now been convicted of 34 different felony crimes by a jury of his peers in manhattan, 34 felony charges for former president, president donald j. trump convicted of 34 felony charges, having to do with falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to stormy daniel's an unbelievable moment in american history they the jurors are now being asked about their agreement with these charges and they are responding. yes. trump has a frowned expression on his face as the verdict reading is completed he is not moving before the former president of the united states. now, a convicted felon, having been found guilty of 34 felony charges by a jury, of his peers in manhattan new york. >> the court officer is asked if either party wants the jury polled. >> trump attorney todd blanche says, yes, this is when they go around and ask each juror if they agree with what has just been read by the foreperson, the jurors all have straight faces they are now being hold karen when they do this, do they ask each juror for each charge for each count or today's or would they simplify it and say to each of the 12 jurors, do you agree? he's you convict him on all 34 charges in this particular instance because it was a clean sweep of all 34 what the judge would do is he would say juror number one, you just heard that there was just a 34 count. all guilty. is that your verdict? and they would say yes, sir juror is being pulled right now. >> they all said yesterday, as it is, and then you're each going as you just said, karen, juror number one is this your conclusion? yes, it is. juror number two. is this your conclusion as it is and the altar, the alternate jurors, judge merchan, said we couldn't have done this without you. he thanks all of the jurors very much for their service in this case. trump has luck turning to look over the jurors as they're being pulled the former president of the united states, donald j. trump, the presumptive republican presidential nominee. a convicted felon, 34 times over, found guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree by a jury of his peers. in manhattan minutes ago, anderson jake, as you said, it is a remarkable moment in american history. i'm here, kaitlan collins and cnn's paula reid, who have been covering this, obviously from the beginning the judge has said that he will meet privately with all the jurors just to thank them again, but that he cannot actually discuss any parts of the case with them. what happens now, poland? >> so this is going to be a long road even before this jury took their seats in that courtroom, the trump team was preparing their strategy for appeal, and the first argument they're probably going to make is that they believe their client never would've been able to get a fair trial in manhattan. they tried to move this out of manhattan, arguing that he wouldn't get a fair shake and they've tried hi to rack up every possible objection already. attorney todd blanche, i lose for an acquittal of the charges, non less standing. the verdict, certainly something that any defense attorney would do in this circumstance, but they're thinking other you're playing a long game here and they're thinking of every possible objection. the strategy was described to me as death by 1,000 cuts and they've been racking up every objection, every possible cause institutional question that they could raise before an appeals court. so i guarantee you i'm told this will be a field and it's a long road. the appellate process, you know, caitlin was so interesting in the last 24 hours node, there had been some supporters of the former president who said they thought maybe there was a rogue juror or maybe there was a juror who seemed to smile at or look over at donald trump or lookup over at parts of the team are some of the acolytes, the politicians who were in the room. they sense perhaps there would be one hold out. there wasn't a lot of hope among the trump team from all the reporting, reporting, and others that there would be an acquittal, but their hope was that there was some holdout juror and what a remarkable moment this is because donald trump himself always thinks that, he can somehow sway everyone. i mean, he always, that's why he says he wants often wants to testify in his own defense when he said when people when it suits with voters and for him to sit there and listen to all of these jurors and donald trump looked on as every juror confirmed that, yes. this was their finding that they did find him guilty on all 34 counts. it is remarkable, ended up itself and it's something that donald trump has never experienced before in his life. the idea that even he was holding out hope that some of these jurors would be on his side. some of these jurors would help deadlock this, or at least lead to an allen charge where they had to be told but the judge tried to come to a unanimous decision here is remarkable, and one thing i'll say is trump has been falsely claiming that the jury did not have to come to a unanimous decision here they did have the come to a unanimous decision on all of the they did on all of these charges, they found him guilty on every single one. >> yes. says attorney is moving and saying that michael cohen without his testimony, jot donald trump would not have been found guilty on all accounts he is saying that the defense believes michael cohen committed perjury on the scan. those are all issues that they'll take up for this moment in and of itself for donald trump's trusted attorney and personal fixer for so many years, to have been at the center of this case that did ultimately lead to make hi he's in the middle of a presidential campaign, is completely uncharted territory, even for donald trump, even with the bravado that you'll see from him, the appeals that you'll see from his legal he did not want to be here and now he does find himself here. >> this is also now, don't from who, rightly would be proud of being a former president of the united states on his record forever in history, he is a convicted felon, of course, unless overturned on appeal or somebody pardons him. trump attorney todd blanche asked for sentencing a date in late july. we should also note that george did not look at donald trump as they left the courtroom but every time i was in the courtroom, i assume you were in the courtroom to win we watched jurors come and go. i never saw jurors look at donald trump, i'm not sure if he did as well. trump is sitting at the defense table without moving. that's been the reporting now, all during this during the reading of the sentence, as the foreperson was reading, each guilty verdict said that he had a friend on his face, but that he was not moving jury of his peers. >> i should know that they will try to say, well, he would have never gotten a fair shake in new york, obviously, trump built his business in new york. he was defined as a new yorker, when he ran for president, even though he's a resident of florida, that's still how he's seen some of these jurors followed him on truth, social, some of them said they had no opinion of him at all. some of them, one of the jurors described them. she said she thought he was selfish, but they all said they could put their political beliefs aside and listen to the evidence here. and clearly that is what they were doing because just this morning they were asking for headphones to listen to the evidence they wanted the judge to reread the instructions to them. it's clear how seriously they took this responsibility and these findings that they have come two ends. >> being and politics in the district attorney, alvin bragg, who brought this case, he would because in the courtroom for the verdict, when he brought this case, he gets four and president trump, there was a lot of scrutiny questions about whether he was bowing to political pressure right now, todd blanche talking about trump's other legal cases. he of course faces three other criminal prosecutions and he's arguing that trump's legal team needs to prepare for a three-day hearing in florida florida scheduled for late june, but they are related to the classified documents prosecution but this is this is validation of alvin bragg's decision to bring this year there's old cakes and historic case that among sentencing date is set for july 11th at 10:00 a.m. don't trump is leaving the courthouse courtroom. let's watch when he went from hours ago in a room across where he's about to exit eating pizza, laughing with his team moments later to find out that he's been found guilty on all 34 counts. >> are you seeing meal built beauvais, their boss epshteyn, one of his top pfizer's that stephen shown whose back is to us. >> he's a campaign spokesperson alina habba, trump's other attorney. >> there clearly huddling. this is what they did the other day. when trump was about to come address the cameras, they saddle type the courtroom and kinda talked about it. >> it's prosecutors told the judge that there is no bail sentencing will be now in in july see if he donald trump and todd blanche are talking. >> that's jason hello. are you can see on the back with his glasses on and eric trump is the tall one right there deciding what he's going to say to the cameras it's interesting to hear the rhetoric that from his used against judge juan merchan. >> four, i think anybody witnessing this inside the courtroom, he seemed to bend over backwards to try to be fair to all the parties in this, the trump team has to file any motions by june 13, the prosecution must respond by june 27 the judge certainly did evit the former president's now a convicted felon 34 times i'm about to address reporters this was a disgrace this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge was corrupt so rig trial that to disgrace it wouldn't give us a venue change. we were at 5% or 6%. and this district of this area this a rigged disgraceful trial. >> the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. >> you have a serous back, da and the whole thing. we didn't do anything wrong i'm a very innocent man. it's okay. i'm fighting for ou
