Trump was sentenced to unconditional discharge for his hush-money conviction just 10 days before his inauguration, making him the first individual convicted of a felony to assume the presidency.
The case revolves around allegations that he falsified business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had an affair with him in 2006. He has denied the allegations, dismissing the prosecution as politically motivated.
Navratilova has long been an outspoken critic of Trump, never hesitating to call him out for his actions. She was also a strong supporter of Kamala Harris during her campaign against the 78-year-old in the 2024 election.
