Summary
Jurors in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial will continue their deliberations today - the 12 New Yorkers must reach a unanimous verdict
Yesterday, after deliberating for about four hours, the jury asked to see several pieces of evidence and hear the judge's instructions again
The court has heard from 22 witnesses over six weeks, including Stormy Daniels, whose alleged sexual encounter with Trump is at the centre of this case
Trump is accused of concealing a payment made to buy the former adult-film star’s silence shortly before the 2016 election
He has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records, and denies any sexual encounter with her
It is the first time in history that a US president - former or current - has faced a criminal trial
