Trump sentenced without penalty in New York hush money case
CNBC
– President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced in his criminal hush money case.
– Trump, who attended the hearing remotely, was found guilty in a New York court of falsifying business records in connection with a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
– The U.S. Supreme Court in a narrow decision refused to stop the sentencing.
President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced Friday in his New York criminal hush money case, 10 days before his inauguration for a second White House term.
More than eight years after the events that led to his prosecution, Trump was sentenced to no jail time, fines or other punishments.
“This has been a very terrible experience,” Trump, who attended the hearing remotely, said before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan delivered the sentence.
“This has been a political witch hunt,” he said, claiming the case was brought “to damage my reputation so I would lose the election.”
