Trump faces no penalties in hush money sentence as he prepares to return to White House

President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced on January 10, 2025, in New York for his conviction on 34 felony charges related to hush money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign. Despite facing up to four years in prison, Trump received an unconditional discharge, meaning no jail time, probation, or fines. This made him the first U.S. president to be convicted and sentenced for a crime while in office.

Trump, who appeared remotely from Florida, framed the case as a politically motivated attack, denying the accusations. He was convicted for falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. His legal team tried to overturn the verdict, but the Supreme Court declined to intervene.

The sentencing comes just 10 days before Trump’s return to the White House on Inauguration Day, with this case being the only one to go to trial among his four criminal cases.
