And we are starting with breaking news this hour.

You are looking live at the courthouse where we have word that the jury has reached a verdict in

former President Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial.

Let's get straight to Megan Kisella with the details on what we expect to hear and when.

Megan.

Sarah, we're going to hear this in the next 15 to 20 minutes or so, a verdict in this trial

against former president

Donald Trump.

Now he was charged as a reminder with 34 felony counts and

at issue here is the hush money payments that were made in 2016

to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels. So now Trump

repaid his former fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen in early 2017 and

the prosecution argues that he disguised those payments as legal expenses.

So what issue here is that these are, he was falsifying business expenses.

So it's 34 felony counts, we don't know yet the verdict. We don't

know yet exactly what the punishment will be. But we do expect to hear that in

about 15 to 20 minutes. And again, this is the first criminal trial against a

former president in US history and it is likely the only one to come to trial before November's election.

Pretty unprecedented, Megan, we'll go back to you as soon as we get any information and news. Thank you very much

Megan Kisella. We're going to start the hour here with stocks continuing to fall over

this holiday shortened trading week. The Dow dropping more than 300 points.

That was all Salesforce.
