Donald Trump faces 34 felony charges in New York for falsifying business records related to hush money payments made during the 2016 election to Stormy Daniels. If convicted, Trump could face more than a decade in prison according to legal experts. Each felony count carries a maximum of 4 years. However, New York has a 20-year sentencing cap for non-violent offenses. It's up to the judge whether sentences are served concurrently or consecutively. Given Trump's lack of criminal record, the judge may show leniency and sentence him to only a fraction of the maximum. Probation is also possible.
