    Stacking Charges on Top of Charges Stretches Justice to the Breaking Point

    Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump on April 4th on 34 separate counts of falsifying business records in relation to the settlement between Trump & porn star Stormy Daniels. Each count references a business record (ledger entry, check, etc.) that was involved, and each count carries a maximum sentence of four years jail time. In all, if found guilty on all counts, Trump could face 136 years in prison for what is essentially him trying to either a) hide a settlement with someone who extorted him, or b) hide an affair he had with Daniels.
