Jurors, 12 Manhattan residents, deliberated behind closed doors for nearly five hours on Wednesday, focusing on key testimonies.
They requested to rehear testimonies from David Pecker and Michael Cohen regarding their interactions with Trump in 2015 and 2016.
The jury also asked the judge to repeat instructions guiding their deliberations, which were read in court.
Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Prosecutors allege Trump disguised reimbursements to Cohen for the payment, aiming to cover up its true purpose.
Jurors reviewed Pecker's testimony about a phone call with Trump and his refusal to transfer life rights of a former Playboy model to Cohen.
They also focused on a 2015 meeting at Trump Tower involving Cohen, Trump, and Pecker, allegedly part of a scheme to bury negative stories.
The judge's instructions included how to make inferences from proven facts, using an example of inferring rain from wet streets.
Jurors took notes as the judge emphasized that inferences must flow logically from proven facts, avoiding speculation.
