Experts weigh in on the challenges of pursuing charges against Trump in NY.

Charges filed against Donald Trump in Manhattan are rarely pursued as the "top count" or only charge, and seldom result in a felony conviction, according to a report. The most common result in cases that include felony falsification of business records is a guilty plea to disorderly conduct. Trump faces 34 felony counts, each of which carries a maximum of four years in prison. The Manhattan DA filed 168 counts of felony falsification of business records against 34 defendants or companies, including against the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corp. Trump was indicted on the 34 counts for allegedly illegally reimbursing Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made ahead of the 2016 election.
