Excerpt:
President-elect Donald Trump will face no jail time or financial penalties in his New York hush money case, as the judge presiding over the trial issued an unconditional discharge on Friday.
“The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt,” Trump posted on Truth Social after attending the 40-minute, virtual sentencing. “Today’s event was a despicable charade, and now that it is over, we will appeal this Hoax, which has no merit, and restore the trust of Americans in our once great System of Justice.”
Judge Juan Merchan’s ruling of an unconditional discharge, a move that carries no punishment, follows months-long speculation over the implications of convicting a former or incoming president. The judge pushed back the sentencing date for months as he weighed whether a conviction would withstand the Supreme Court’s ruling last summer on broad presidential immunity.
