YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump, the first former US president convicted of a felony, was sentenced by a New York judge to no jail time in his hush money case, though he’ll still return to the White House this month with a criminal record. #trump #politics #worldnews
Justice Juan Merchan on Friday gave Trump a so-called unconditional discharge at a hearing attended virtually by the president-elect. The sentence means Trump emerges from the case without any probation, fine, or continued responsibility to the court, despite a jury convicting him of 34 felony counts.
The judge imposed his sentence in a packed courtroom in lower Manhattan, just 10 days before Trump will be sworn in as the 47th US president. It caps off a week of rapid-fire legal challenges by his lawyers, who sought to delay the hearing, including a failed last-ditch attempt to get the US Supreme Court to block it.
Merchan, who previously signaled he would impose no punishment, said the unusually light sentence was a direct result of Trump’s election victory rather than any other factor that normally weighs in favor of a defendant.
