The jury in Donald Trump's 'hush money' trial has started deliberations.
The 12 jurors will be discussing each of the 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree that have been brought against the former US President.
They must reach a unanimous verdict.
Mr Trump denies the charges and was defiant leaving the courtroom today.
“Listening to the charges from the judge - as you know very conflicted and corrupt because of the confliction, very, very corrupt,” he said.
“Mother Teresa could not beat these charges, these charges are rigged, the whole thing is rigged, the whole country’s a mess.”
Mr Trump has also faces charges in three other trials in which he is accused of attempting to overthrow the Government, overturn his defeat in the State of Georgia and mishandling classified documents.
He denies all charges.
