NEW YORK — A Manhattan judge is ordering President-Elect Trump to be sentenced next week, just days before his inauguration.
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump’s request to dismiss the hush money case against him in a ruling Friday afternoon. Merchan has now set Trump’s sentencing date for January 10th.
In the ruling, Merchan implied he would not sentence Trump to jail time, instead giving him an unconditional discharge. In that circumstance, Trump would have the case dismissed if he avoids rearrest.
The sentencing will make him the first President to take office after being convicted of a felony. He was found guilty of hiding “hush money” payments to adult-actress Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.
