Description
In May 2024, a New York jury found Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial.
The charges are related in part to payments made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Daniels claimed she was paid hush money to keep quiet about an affair with Trump, and Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to criminal charges and served jail time for making the payments. Trump has denied allegations of the affair.
Trump’s sentencing in that case had been scheduled for Nov. 26.
Now, weeks after Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, some people online are claiming the New York hush money case has been dismissed and all charges against the president-elect have been dropped.
“Trump’s NYC Stormy Daniels case has been DISMISSED in court. Means Liberals can’t call him convicted felon anymore,” one person wrote on Threads.
