Trump's Hush Money Case: Judge Hints at Conditional Discharge

A judge in New York is set to sentence Donald Trump on January 10, with indications pointing towards no jail time amid ongoing legal battles.


In a groundbreaking case, Donald Trump is expected to be sentenced for his hush-money conviction, with New York Judge Juan Merchan suggesting that he may receive a conditional discharge. This decision would close the case without any jail time, fine, or probation, just as Trump prepares for his presidential inauguration. The conviction stems from Trump's attempts to cover up reimbursements linked to a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, which has been characterized as an effort to sway the 2016 election. Despite the legal troubles, Trump maintains his innocence and argues that the case is a political maneuver to undermine his 2024 campaign. Judge Merchan is contemplating options that could allow the president-elect to govern without the cloud of a criminal case overshadowing his administration, signaling unprecedented developments in American legal and political history.
