A jury in New York City found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records last month.
Former President Donald Trump sought help from Republicans in Congress to possibly overturn the conviction in his Manhattan criminal trial, according to a new report.On Thursday, Politico Playbook published a new report that claimed to detail part of Trump's reaction to the guilty verdict reached by a jury in New York City for a case involving hush money payments made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case charged that the payment was meant to prevent Daniels from going public about her allegation of a sexual encounter with the former president and hurting his election changes.Trump, who has long denounced the case as a 'witch hunt,' said he is innocent of all charges and denied Daniels' allegation and the encounter. He has already announced plans to appeal the verdict.
