Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Judge Moves Donald Trump’s Sentencing In Hush Money Trial To Nov. 26
deadline.comA New York judge has moved the sentencing in Donald Trump‘s hush money trial to after the election, on November 26. “The public’s confidence in the integrity of our judicial system demands a sentencing hearing that is entirely focused on the verdict of the jury and the weighing of aggravating and mitigating factors free from distraction and distortion,” Judge Juan Merchan wrote in a statement filed today. “The members of this jury served diligently on this case, and their verdict must be respected and addressed in a manner that is not diluted by the enormity of the upcoming presidential election.
Likewise, if one is necessary, the Defendant has the right to a sentencing hearing that respects and protects his constitutional rights.” Trump was found guilty in May of 34 state counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels in advance of the 2016 election.
The judge initially set sentencing for July, but then pushed that date back to Sept. 18 as Trump’s legal team challenged the conviction based on the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity.
