Breaking news: Incredible. An ex-President, a Present-elect being sentenced in a court of law. Trump Is A Convicted Felon
This is incredibly something (great phrase, no?). The NY judge upheld Donald Trump’s conviction in the hush money case.
Trump on Trial
Judge orders Trump to be sentenced in hush money case on Jan. 10, but says he won’t be incarcerated
Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump's motion to dismiss the case against him, and said he could appear in person or remotely for the sentencing.
“While this Court as a matter of law must not make any determination on sentencing prior to giving the parties and Defendants opportunity to be heard, it seems proper at this juncture to make known the Court’s inclination to not impose any sentence of incarceration, a sentence authorized by the conviction but one the People concede they no longer view as a practicable recommendation,” the judge wrote in his
ruling.
He was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the case back in May.
