Movie legend Robert De Niro has been stripped of a prestigious leadership award, after a fiery speech outside the Donald Trump “hush-money” trial was deemed a “distraction” by organisers.
A jury convicted former president Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to adult star Stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 election. Ms Daniels says that they had a sexual encounter in 2006, which the former president denies.
