Donald Trump is a convicted felon.

The former president was found guilty on all counts in his trial in Manhattan today. The jury returned with a verdict, delivered just past 5 p.m., after less than 12 hours of deliberation.

The result is historic and stunning, if not entirely unexpected. Trump is the first current or former president to be tried for any serious crime, and now he is the first to be convicted. Not only that, but he was found guilty on all 34 counts against him.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with falsifying business records in order to cover up a hush-money payment Trump made to Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actor who alleges that she had sex with Trump in 2006.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
