The court did not accept Trump's defense arguments that the US Supreme Court decision absolves the president for actions taken within the scope of his official duties.
The prosecution, on the other hand, argues that the case pertains to Trump's personal conduct rather than the execution of his official responsibilities as the head of the White House.
Trump denies his guilt and may appeal to a higher court; he could also attempt to overturn the jury's verdict using other legal arguments, according to the Financial Times.
