In 2016, Donald Trump allegedly paid hush money to Stephanie Clifford, AKA Stormy Daniels, and improperly expensed it on Trump Organization books. This led to a New York State investigation into whether Trump intentionally misreported financial transactions, which could escalate from a misdemeanor to a low-level felony if it was found to cover up a crime. However, with statutes of limitations of 2 years for misdemeanors and 5 years for felonies, the question remains: can Trump be prosecuted for a crime that allegedly took place over 7 years ago? This video delves into the legal hurdles facing the former president, including how New York State is attempting to get around the statute of limitations, and what would need to be proven for charges to stick.
