Impeached for abuse of power, President Donald Trump's acquittal by the Senate is just the latest escape for the real estate tycoon turned politician who has repeatedly defied the odds.
His comments sparked a wave of indignation including in his own Republican Party. But the outrage soon faded, and Trump was able to move on from the incident.A year into Trump's presidency, in January 2018, a former porn star known as Stormy Daniels - real name Stephanie Clifford -- came forward to allege she had a tryst with Trump a decade earlier, and that he paid her to keep quiet.paying Clifford $130,000 in hush money just weeks before the 2016 election.
Rejected by Trump as a"witch hunt," the probe cast a long shadow over the White House throughout the first half of his presidency. In October 2016, The New York Times revealed that Trump reported over $1 billion in business losses in 1995 - potentially allowing him to avoid paying income tax for two decades.
