Former President Donald Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

A unanimous jury found him guilty in May of covering up a $ 130,000 hush money payment to an adult film star.

If he wins the election, the sentence would likely be delayed until after his presidency.

Trump was indicted in August 2023 in a case brought by special counsel Jack Smith .

He said during a December 2023 hearing in the case that if Trump won, any trial would need to be delayed until at least 2029 . Sadow cited the Constitution's Supremacy Clause , and argued the state's prosecution would essentially be outranked by the federal government's needs while Trump is in the White House . "I believe that the supremacy clause and his duties as president of the United States [mean] this trial would not take place at all until after his term in office," Sadow said..
