hush money

Trump had been scheduled to be sentenced next week, on Nov. 26, for a conviction on 34 felony counts relating to falsified business records concerning hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Trump cannot directly fire Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who convicted the president-elect on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

The central figure in the hush money case against the former president roasted Trump with the help of comedian and impersonator Matt Friend.

Trump has not gone yet to trial in any of the pending criminal cases against him, except the New York hush money case; he was convicted there and faces sentencing Nov. 26.

According to Maddow, the recording and documents indicate that Trump's lawyers “were apparently planning to launder the new hush money payment to Stormy Daniels through the payment of a legal judgment.”
