Summary

The judge in the criminal trial of Donald Trump is instructing jurors to begin their deliberations in the historic case

Trump is accused of trying to cover up a $130,000 (£102,000) hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, who claims they had sex

The former president has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records, and denies any sexual encounter with her

The defence and prosecution took hours to give their closing statements yesterday – delivering competing arguments on whether Trump is guilty or not

A prosecutor accused Trump of an “elaborate scheme”, while the defence called the other side’s star witness Michael Cohen the “MVP of liars”

It is the first time in history that a US president – former or current – has faced a criminal trial

Only a unanimous verdict from the 12-person jury can convict Trump; he could also be acquitted or there could be a mistrial
