A New York state court has sentenced U.S. President-elect, Donald Trump, to unconditional discharge in his hush-money case.
This means he’ll face no jail time, penalties or probation.
Judge Juan Merchan pronounced his sentence on Friday, which gave Trump an unconditional discharge, as expected.
The sentencing, however, means Trump will remain a felon having become the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes, a major dent to his image.
Trump, who attended the sentencing virtually, did not react as Merchan concluded the hearing.
This came 10 days before the president-elect’s inauguration.
