Donald Trump’s long-anticipated and twice-delayed court sentencing in New York is now, officially, off.
Trump will almost certainly head back to the White House as a convicted felon — who somehow escaped any consequence for faking business records.
At trial, prosecutors made the case that Trump had an extramarital affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, used his lawyer Michael Cohen to funnel a $130,000 hush money payment to silence her before the 2016 presidential election, and then reimbursed Cohen for sham legal work. A jury of 12 New Yorkers concluded Trump was guilty of all 34 counts of making false business filings that prosecutors brought against him.
