32% : Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels and was later reimbursed by Trump.
28% : Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing, was originally scheduled for sentencing July 11, but Merchan postponed it until Sept. 18, if necessary, while he weighs a defense request to throw out his conviction in the wake of the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling.
26% : Trump has pledged to appeal his conviction, but he would not be able to do so until he is sentenced.
24% : During the trial, he held Trump in contempt of court and fined him $10,000 for violations, and he threatened to jail him if he did it again.
24% : A Manhattan jury convicted Trump on May 30 of falsifying records to cover up a potential sex scandal, making him the first ex-president convicted of a crime.
17% : Prosecutors said the Daniels payment was part of a broader scheme to buy the silence of people who might have gone public during the 2016 campaign with embarrassing stories alleging Trump had extramarital sex.
