Ivanka Trump breaks silence after dad Donald Trump’s shocking conviction in Hush Money scandal
The final verdict of Donald Trump‘s Hush Money trial has made history, as he becomes the first former US president convicted of felony charges on Thursday. Following an extensive 7-week trial dubbed as Hush Money trial, a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to tuck away a payment aimed at silencing a porn star prior to the 2016 election. Interestingly, Ivanka Trump, known for her limited engagement in her father’s political sphere this time, has now offered her reaction to the verdict.

The public release of Ivanka’s gesture, the first since the Hush Money trial, implies that despite the Republican 2024 presidential nominee being found guilty on all 34 counts, his family remains staunchly supportive.

Donald Trump found guilty in hush money trail
The verdict was read at approximately 5 p.m. by the Manhattan Supreme Court, following two days of deliberation. During the seven weeks of the “controversial” trial, adult actress Stormy Daniels and former Trump lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen both testified against the president and made some shocking allegations. The former President of the United States was accused of covering up a $130,000 payment made to porn actress Stormy Daniels as part of an effort to suppress sex scandals that could have potentially led to the collapse of his 2016 political campaign.
