No-punishment sentencing in Trump hush money case
Donald Trump is expected to return to the business of planning for his new U.S. administration after receiving zero punishment in his New York hush money case.
President-elect Donald Trump called the sentencing hearing in his New York hush money case a “despicable charade” and he plans to appeal his conviction.
The Republican was sentenced on Friday, but the judge declined to impose any punishment.
The no-punishment sentence by Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan, cements Trump’s conviction while allowing him to return to the White House without the threat of a jail term or fine.
With this sentencing, President-elect Donald Trump becomes the first U.S. president to take office with a criminal conviction on his official record.
