The political environment in America has always been the center of discussions. In such a situation, in recent times, former President Donald Trump is once again in the news. New York Judge Juan Marchan found Trump guilty of hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, but did not give him any additional punishment. This case is the first criminal case against any US President, which has now ended.
The allegation against Trump was that he had paid porn star Daniels $130,000 to remain silent during the 2016 presidential election. Trump denied these allegations and said that this is a ploy by his political opponents, who are misusing the justice system to damage his reputation.
