This case stemmed from hush money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to adult film star Stormy Daniels, allegedly to prevent her from speaking publicly about an alleged affair with Trump.

Given the number of counts, trump faces a possible combined sentence of over a century behind bars, though it’s highly unlikely he would receive the maximum penalty.
