Judge sets Trump’s hush-money sentencing for January 10

A New York judge ruled Friday that Donald Trump will face no legal penalties for his conviction in the hush money case. But on January 10, the president-elect will hear his sentencing on 34 counts he was convicted of in the case related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

The judge rejected Trump’s attempt to dismiss the jury’s verdict, citing his reelection in November. However, he indicated that Trump would not face any jail time.

The ruling means Trump can pursue an appeal without penalty, ensuring no interference with his presidential duties.
