Unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on Friday for falsifying business records to cover up his 2016

Trey Gowdy credited Judge Juan Merchan and Alvin Bragg for doing "more to help get Donald Trump reelected" than any other Republican. The post Trey Gowdy: Judge Merchan and DA Bragg ‘Did More to Help Get Trump Re-Elected’ Than Any Republican Strategist first appeared on Mediaite.

This’ll be among the least suspenseful of all sentencings. Judge Juan Merchan has announced in advance — quite pragmatically, actually — that he intends to sentence Trump to an unconditional discharge. To translate that bit of legal jargon: nothing.

Donald Trump delivered a defiant statement prior to the announcement of his sentence in the New York hush money case brought against him by Alvin Bragg.

Elie Honig called BS on President-elect Donald Trump's courtroom rant about District Attorney Alvin Bragg during Judge Juan Merchan's sentencing hearing.

The US president-elect was convicted for falsifying business records relating to a payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg urged the Supreme Court to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to delay sentencing, dismissing claims of pre-inauguration immunity as “unprecedented.”

President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced in his New York hush money case after a jury in May convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump was found guilty by a New York jury of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in May 2024. His sentencing was delayed multiple times due to Supreme Court rulings and the November presidential election.

Aside from a felony record that may yet be erased on appeal, the president-elect will face no punishment for trying to conceal his hush payment to Stormy Daniels.

Judge Juan Merchan has signaled his intention to sentence Trump to an " unconditional discharge " -- allowing Trump to avoid prison, fines or probation -- out of respect for the principle of presidential immunity, which takes effect on Jan. 20 once Trump becomes president.
