Judge rules Trump does not have presidential immunity protections in hush money conviction

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : "Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records over payments to his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to reimburse a $130,000 hush money payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, in order to keep her from speaking out about an alleged affair before the 2016 election.
36% : Trump was initially scheduled to be sentenced in July, but that was postponed twice as a result of the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling, pushing a sentencing date back until after the election.
31% : Merchan wrote the Supreme Court's ruling that Trump should receive broad immunity for official acts during his time in office did not mean the conviction should be dismissed, ruling that the evidence presented by the Manhattan district attorney's office was not related to Trump's official conduct as president.
29% : The judge did not, however, rule on a motion from Trump's attorneys to dismiss the conviction because Trump has now been elected president.
25% : Trump has yet to be sentenced following his May conviction.
25% : Trump has denied the affair.
