25% : The charges Trump was convicted of allow for a sentence of several years in prison, although there's no minimum sentence at all.
21% : Trump wanted federal Manhattan Judge Alvin Hellerstein to take the hush money case out of state Judge Juan Merchan's hands ahead of the Sept. 18 sentencing date, claiming Merchan is biased and a federal court should rule on his argument for tossing out his conviction.
14% : And he said it wouldn't be appropriate to let Trump move the case to federal court at this stage because Trump wasn't prosecuted for any official acts.
13% : Prosecutors argued that Trump broke the law in his efforts to prevent American voters from learning about porn star Stormy Daniels' allegation - which Trump denies - that she had sex with the real estate mogul in 2006.
