Trump sentencing reside: President-elect to study his hush cash case destiny days earlier than the inauguration

Donald Trump was in the New York Supreme Court every day for the marathon hush money case last year.

He watched as the likes of Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen and loyal staff such as Hope Hicks testify.

During breaks in proceedings, he spoke to reporters and railed against the charges against him – describing them as a ‘witch hunt’.

But he is expected to appear remotely from Palm Beach as learns his punishment in the hush money face.

Donald Trump is likely to receive a conditional discharge when he is sentenced in the hush money case.

It means the president-elect will not receive any jail time and will avoid a fine or probation.

However he will get a criminal record, which cements him in history as the first president coming into office as a convicted felon.

President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced in the Stormy Daniels hush money case on Friday after the United States Supreme Court rejected his last-minute bid to halt the case.

The Court found 5-4 that Trump’s sentencing on 34 felony counts would not be an insurmountable burden as he takes back the White House, noting that Judge Juan Merchan has indicated he would not give the incoming president any jail time, fines or probation.

‘First, the alleged evidentiary violations as president-elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course of appeal,’ the unsigned ruling said.

‘Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the president elect’s responsibilities is relatively insurmountable in light of the trial court’s stated intent to impose a sentence of “unconditional discharge” after a brief virtual hearing.’

Among those who supported the decision were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh would have delayed the sentencing, the order states.
