President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled for sentencing on January 10, 2025, following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
Judge Juan Merchan, presiding over the case, has indicated that Trump will likely receive an unconditional discharge, meaning he will not face imprisonment, fines, or probation.
This sentencing is set just ten days before Trump's inauguration as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025.
Despite the conviction, Trump's legal team has argued for dismissal based on presidential immunity; however, the judge maintained that such immunity does not apply to a president-elect.
This unprecedented situation has sparked significant debate and is expected to have wide-reaching implications.
