Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has refused to say whether he would request a prison sentence for Donald Trump.
“The judge scheduled sentencing for July 11th. We will speak in court at that time. We also set a motion schedule. We'll speak as we have done throughout this proceeding,” Mr Bragg told reporters outside court.
“This type of white collar prosecution is core to what we do at the Manhattan District Attorneys Office," he added.
Mr Bragg thanked the jury for their service and for its “careful attention” it “paid to the evidence and the law.”
“Their service is literally the cornerstone of our judicial system,” Bragg told reporters.
“Twelve everyday New Yorkers — and of course our alternates — heard testimony from 22 witnesses including former and current employees of the defendant, media executives, book publishers, custodians of records and others,” Mr Bragg said.
“The only voice that matters is the voice of the jury, and the jury has spoken,” he added.
“While this defendant may be unlike any other in American history, we arrived at this trial, and ultimately today this verdict, in the same manner as every other case that comes to the courtroom doors: by following the facts and the law, in doing so, without fear or favour.”
Mr Bragg said the jurors were “careful and attentive” and expressed his gratitude to be able to work alongside them and within the justice system.
“We were before you today on this obviously consequential matter, but this is what we do every day. We follow the facts in the law without fear or favour,” he said.
He also thanked his "phenomenal" prosecution team, who he said embodied "the finest traditions of this office: Professionalism, integrity, dedication and service."
"They are model public servants and I am proud and humbled to serve side by side with them," Mr Bragg said.
