Trump Hush-Money Trial Nears Verdict Amid Heated Closing Arguments

TL;DR Summary
Closing arguments in Donald Trump's criminal trial over alleged hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels have concluded in New York. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up the payment during the 2016 election. The defense argued Trump did not break the law, while the prosecution claimed there was a conspiracy and cover-up. If convicted, Trump could face up to four years in prison, but it would not bar him from running in the upcoming presidential election. The jury will now deliberate, with no set time limit for reaching a verdict.
