NEW YORK (AP) — After nearly two days of waiting at a Manhattan courtroom, a verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial came swiftly as news organizations were getting ready to leave. A jury foreman pronounced Trump guilty 34 times, but went unheard publicly because of New York state laws prohibiting audio-visual coverage in courtrooms. Broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC suspended regular programming to cover the verdict. Outlets reflected the sweep of history — the first felony conviction of a former U.S. president — along with heated views that surrounded the most polarizing figure in American politics. Anger coursed through outlets supportive of Trump.
