Donald Trump has been sentenced to a four-year prison term without penalty following his conviction in the Stormy Daniels bribery case. Presidential immunity does not carry prison time, but his criminal record remains blemished. Trump’s conviction for bribing porn actress Stormy Daniels (to conceal their relationship) means he will become the first person convicted of a crime to assume the presidency of the United States. He was found guilty in New York of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to Ms. Daniels, an adult film actress, before winning the 2016 US election. Prosecutors alleged that he paid her $130,000 in hush money to conceal the details of what Ms. Daniels said was a sexual relationship in 2006.
