Judge Juan M. Merchan has scheduled Trump's sentencing for January 10, shortly before his return to the White House. The judge indicated he would likely issue a conditional discharge, avoiding incarceration for the former president.
A judge has set former President Donald Trump 's sentencing in his hush money case for January 10, just over a week before he is due to return to the White House . Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump ’s trial, indicated he would sentence Trump to a conditional discharge, meaning the case would be dismissed if Trump avoids rearrest.
Merchan rejected Trump’s attempts to dismiss the verdict and throw out the case on presidential immunity grounds and because of his impending return to the White House. The judge stated he found “no legal impediment to sentencing” Trump and that it was “incumbent” on him to sentence Trump prior to his swearing in on January 20. Trump was convicted in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to an alleged scheme to hide a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in the last weeks of Trump’s first campaign in 2016
