Judge Sets President-elect Trump's Sentencing for Jan. 10 in Hush Money Case, Signals No Jail Time
Jan 3, 2025, 09:16 PM
President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sentenced on January 10 in New York's hush money case involving payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, following a ruling by New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan. The sentencing date falls ten days before Trump's inauguration. Judge Merchan denied Trump's request to dismiss the case to accommodate his presidency despite his election victory but indicated that Trump would not face jail time. Trump is expected to appeal the conviction, which includes 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The sentencing hearing may be held in person or virtually.
