Trump Receives Conditional Discharge in Hush Money Case
Donald Trump’s sentencing for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, stemming from a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, is scheduled for January 10th. Judge Juan Merchan indicated that the sentence will likely be a conditional discharge, avoiding jail time, a fine, or probation. This decision follows Trump’s unsuccessful attempts to dismiss the case, citing presidential immunity and potential interference with his presidency. Despite the charges carrying a potential four-year prison sentence, legal experts previously deemed incarceration unlikely.
