A judge on Friday sentenced Donald Trump to an unconditional discharge for concealing hush money payments to a porn star, thwarting the US president-elect’s final attempts to avoid becoming the first felon in the White House.
“This court has determined that the only lawful sentence that permits entry of a judgement of conviction without encroaching on the highest office of the land, is an unconditional discharge”,” said New York judge Juan Merchan delivering the sentence during a court session that Trump attended virtually.
