Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on January 10, just over a week before his inauguration, for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. This stems from an alleged scheme to conceal hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. While Judge Juan M.
Merchan indicated that Trump will likely receive a conditional discharge, which would dismiss the case if he avoids further legal trouble, Trump still faces the distinction of being the first president to take office while convicted of a felony. The judge rejected Trump's lawyers' arguments to dismiss the verdict based on presidential immunity and the upcoming inauguration, stating that it was his duty to sentence Trump before he assumes office. After Trump's November 5th election victory, proceedings were temporarily halted, allowing both parties to consider the case's future. Trump's legal team requested dismissal, citing potential disruptions to his presidency, while prosecutors acknowledged the need for some accommodation but insisted on upholding the conviction
