Trump Sentenced in Hush Money Case — Unconditional Discharge, No Jail Time (2024-09-18)
Judge Juan Merchan sentences Donald Trump on his 34 felony convictions in the hush money case, imposing an unconditional discharge — no jail time, no probation, no fines. The lenient sentence reflects the unusual nature of the case and the legal complexities of incarcerating a former president. Trump avoids any tangible consequences for the convictions, but the sentence means he will remain a convicted felon. Trump calls the case a "disgrace" but does not appeal.
