On July 2nd, the Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald J. Trump is entitled to broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took while in office. Trump will seek to overturn the New York "hush money" conviction after the immunity ruling. Mr. Trump has vehemently denied having an affair with the US adult film actress Daniels, who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump starting in 2006. Fearing for the safety of her family, Ms Daniels accepted "hush money" from Mr. Trump's personal lawyer. Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump's personal lawyer, also confirmed that he had privately paid Ms Daniels $130,000. But Ms. Daniels noted that she had signed the so-called "hush money" document with Mr. Trump's lawyer, Mr. Cohen, shortly before the election, but that Mr. Trump had not signed it, making it legally invalid.
