Trump's hush money conviction should stand because porn star payoff...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : The GOP 2024 presidential nominee told his White House communications director Hope Hicks, for example, that "it was better" that Daniels' lurid tale of sex with Trump was revealed in 2018 rather than before the 2016 election, Hicks testified.
34% : If the sentencing does happen as planned, Trump faces up to four years in prison, though legal experts told The Post that he's more likely to get probation or community service.
33% : But even if Manhattan jurors never heard that conversation and other challenged evidence from Trump's White House stint, such evidence "constitutes only a sliver of the mountains of testimony and documentary proof" that jurors used to convict Trump on 34 counts of felony falsifying business records, prosecutors wrote.
26% : The US Supreme Court's recent ruling immunizing presidents' "official acts" has "no bearing" on the case in which jurors found Trump guilty of lying on company records about reimbursing his fixer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payoff made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, the Manhattan District Attorney's office wrote.
24% : He's repeatedly claimed that the case brought by Bragg -- an elected Democrat in a borough Trump lost in landslides in 2016 and 2020 -- is a politically motivated plot to hurt his 2024 campaign.
23% : Trump has denied having sex with Daniels, but chose not to testify at the trial.
17% : The first-ever criminal prosecution of a former president "exclusively" stemmed from "unofficial acts" like Trump, 78, ordering Cohen to pay off Daniels - who testified about having a brief tryst with a married Trump in 2006 - to hide a sex scandal from voters, according to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
