Back now at 5:00 with continuing coverage of former President
Trump's hush money trial.
A jury has convicted him on all 34 counts.
Chief legal correspondent Katie Barlow joining us live right now
to breakdown with this all means.
Katie, we, we heard the verdict coming out.
We certainly didn't see what happened inside the courtroom.
We saw what happened afterwards with the former president speaking.
But your thoughts on what many legal analysts said out
of the cases brought against him may have been the
weakest.
Good evening, Jim. That's right.
I think the jury deliberated for just over 12 hours,
which is an indication that the jury took their time
here.
But also vindication for the prosecution's theory here that former
President Donald Trump contributed to or caused the falsification of
business records.
They were able to reach this decision within a couple
of days,
a few hours, 12 hours or so of jury deliberation.
It's also somewhat of a rebuke of the defense's approach
here,
attacking the credibility of the prosecution star witness who,
as we've talked about.
Yeah, Michael Cohen.
All right, Katie.
Issues, Katie, what we're going to do,
we're going to try to resolve that connection.
We're having some issues with the connection right now,
but again, we are going to check in with Katie
Barlow coming up in a little bit.
But again, once to point out that the former president
found guilty on all 34 counts in a case that
Katie has covered extensively here on FOX 5 on in
the courts on Sundays at 11:30.
And she's talked with a lot of people related to
this case who've been following it out of New York
City as well.
We are going to check in with Katie a little
bit later on and of course later on on the
final five here at 11:30 on FOX 5.
But again, we will check back in with Katie Barla
coming up in just a little bit.
And staying with this, that brings us to our FOX
5 instable question.
Will the guilty verdict help or hurt former President Trump?
Right now, the majority of you,
almost 90% say it will help him.
So of course, this is his run for the White
House.
