The New York judge who presided over Donald Trump’s hush money case on Friday sentenced the president-elect to an “unconditional discharge,” meaning he is now a convicted felon in the eyes of New York state law but will face no further penalties.

Justice Juan Merchan’s sentence of unconditional discharge for Trump carries no jail time, probation or fines. Trump had faced up to four years in prison.

President-elect Donald Trump will enter the White House this month as a felon, but will serve no jail time under a sentence handed down this morning in New York for his criminal conviction in a hush-money trial that angered him and his supporters but didn’t prevent him from reclaiming the presidency.

During the sentencing, Justice Juan Merchan said he was keenly aware of the unique set of circumstances before him and the country.

President-elect Trump was sentenced on Friday, with Judge Juan Merchan ordering an 'unconditional discharge' in the Stormy Daniels case.

President-elect Trump refused to take accountability for his hush money criminal conviction at his sentencing Friday, telling the judge he “did nothing wrong.” “The fact is, I’m totally innocent,” Trump said.

President-elect Donald Trump says his New York hush money criminal trial and conviction have "been a very terrible experience" and insists he committed no crime.
