(UPDATE) NEW YORK, United States — Donald Trump will be sentenced Friday for covering up hush money payments to a porn star despite the US president-elect's last-ditch efforts to frustrate a process that would make him the first felon in the White House.
NEW YORK, United States — Donald Trump will be sentenced Friday for covering up hush money payments to a porn star despite the US president-elect's last-ditch efforts to frustrate a process that would make him the first felon in the White House.The judge has indicated, however, that Trump will not face prison — even though the 34 counts of falsifying business records on which he was convicted in May 2024 carry potential prison time.
But the Supreme Court ruled that the sentencing could proceed.Prosecutors opposed the effort to stave off sentencing, 10 days before Trump is due to be sworn in for a second term, arguing it was wrong for the apex court to hear the case when the mogul still had avenues of appeal to pursue in New York.
