Trump must be sentenced in his hush money criminal case on January 10th, a judge has ruled. This decision, handed down just days before his planned inauguration as president, leaves little room for maneuvering and sets the stage for a potentially unprecedented legal and political showdown. The judge’s refusal to dismiss the case, despite Trump’s arguments about the impact on his ability to govern, underscores the seriousness of the conviction and the court’s determination to proceed with sentencing.
Trump’s legal team had made repeated attempts to delay or even dismiss the case entirely. Their arguments, which included pleas to postpone the sentencing until after his potential 2029 departure from the White House, highlighted the extraordinary challenges presented by sentencing a sitting president.… Continue reading
President-elect Trump will be sentenced on January 10th for his “hush money” conviction, a case stemming from a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Justice Merchan’s decision rejects Trump’s claims of presidential immunity and dismissal arguments, despite the unprecedented nature of sentencing a president-elect. Although facing a potential four-year sentence, no jail time is anticipated by the court, and a virtual appearance is possible. The judge’s ruling also criticized Trump’s legal team’s rhetoric as potentially undermining the judiciary.

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.

The prosecutors in Trump’s hush money trial have finally rested their case after presenting 20 witnesses and over 200 exhibits. The evidence presented paints a clear picture of Trump’s involvement in authorizing the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal in an attempt to conceal his extramarital affairs and influence the 2016 election. The testimony of key figures involved, including Michael Cohen, solidifies the prosecution’s argument that Trump knowingly engaged in illegal activity for personal gain.
The defense may choose not to call any more witnesses, but the decision to do so remains uncertain. The looming question is whether Trump himself will take the stand to defend his actions, or rather, to continue his pattern of denial and evasion.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief and sadness at the fact that a normal civilian like Stormy Daniels had to wear a bulletproof vest to court for her testimony in the trial against a former president. The mere idea that a lawsuit against the president would necessitate such extreme measures speaks volumes about the state of our society today. The fact that she felt the need to protect herself from potential violence is a stark reminder of the dark and dangerous times we are living in.
The comments and reactions from individuals who understand the gravity of the situation highlight the very real threats that exist in today’s political climate.… Continue reading
I have been following the news about Megyn Kelly reversing her stance on whether or not Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels, and it’s left me quite perplexed. Initially, like many others, I believed that there was some truth to the allegations. After all, why would Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, pay hush money if there wasn’t something to hide? But now, hearing Kelly’s new perspective, I can’t help but wonder if there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
It’s true, Michael Cohen is a convicted criminal, so it’s hard to trust his word completely. However, the details provided by Stormy Daniels during her court appearances and the evidence presented seem to point to something fishy going on.… Continue reading
Stormy Daniels’ recent taunts towards Donald Trump, challenging him to take the stand and testify, have certainly stirred up a storm of excitement and anticipation. As a casual observer of these legal proceedings, I can’t help but be amused by the boldness and courage displayed by Stormy in her public statements. She’s not holding back, and I have to admit, I find it refreshing to see someone finally standing up to Trump’s bluster and bravado.
The idea that “real men” would take the stand and testify is an interesting one. It implies a sense of integrity, accountability, and courage that seems to be lacking in Trump’s behavior.… Continue reading
regardless of whether he deleted it or not. It’s like committing a crime and then trying to erase the evidence – the damage has already been done. The fact that he thought he could get away with it by quickly deleting the post shows a complete lack of respect for the law and the judicial process.
The audacity of Trump to not only violate the gag order but also to comment on a witness in such a derogatory manner is truly astonishing. His behavior is reminiscent of a petulant child pushing boundaries and testing limits. It’s clear that he has no regard for the consequences of his actions and believes that he is above the law.… Continue reading
“You remind me of my daughter”: Stormy Daniels testifies that Trump compared her to Ivanka. When I first read this shocking statement, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of disgust wash over me. To think that a father would ever compare a woman he’s having an affair with to his own daughter is not just inappropriate, it’s downright disturbing. The fact that this is coming from the former president of the United States adds a whole new level of reprehensibility to the situation.
The infamous quote from Donald Trump about dating his daughter if she weren’t related to him is already unsettling on its own.… Continue reading
