Donald Trump Makes History - First Felon to Serve as President

About 20 minutes into the Trump Sentencing, the former President and future President said this, “This has been a very terrible experience. I think it’s been a tremendous setback for New York, the New York court system.” 

“I get indicted for business records? Everybody should be so accurate. It’s been a political witch hunt ... to damage my reputation so that I’d lose the election. Obviously, that didn’t work.”

The Trump legal team tried to delay the sentencing, but even the Supreme Court let Donald Trump Down. So he will begin his second term as a convicted felon.

 

This is from "The Guardian," The judge who presided over Trump’s criminal trial, Juan Merchan, issued a sentence of “unconditional discharge”, meaning the president-elect will be released without fine, imprisonment or probation supervision for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. While the sentence makes Trump a convicted felon, he will face no penalty other than this legal designation. Trump, whose presidential inauguration is scheduled for 20 January, is the first US president – former or sitting – to face a criminal trial, let alone a guilty verdict and subsequent sentencing.
