BREAKING: Judge sentences Trump to an unconditional discharge

Published

on



President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced to an “unconditional discharge” in his New York hush money case, making him the first president to have been sentenced for a criminal conviction once he’s sworn into office on January 20. The unconditional discharge, which Judge Juan Merchan said he was likely to impose, allows the conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to stand with no further penalties, such as jail time.
