  • Donald Trump has been given an unconditional discharge over hush money payments sent to porn star Stormy Daniels, avoiding jail before his inauguration later this month.

The article from Yahoo News discusses former President Donald Trump's involvement in a legal case concerning a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her about an alleged affair before the 2016 election. Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records, but he has pleaded not guilty. The case, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, marks the first criminal prosecution of a former U.S. president. Despite the charges, Trump has not been detained; instead, he was released on his own recognizance with conditions like not breaking any laws and avoiding contact with case witnesses except for family members. The next court date is set for December 4, 2023, with the trial potentially starting in January 2024. Trump's legal team argues that the payment was a personal matter, not a campaign expense, and they plan to challenge the case on various grounds, including the statute of limitations and the credibility of Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney who facilitated the payment.
