Judge Juan M. Merchan indicated that a conditional discharge might be the appropriate sentence for Trump, emphasizing that only by bringing finality to this matter will the interests of justice be served.
In a significant ruling, the judge rejected Trump's arguments for dismissing the case on presidential immunity grounds, stating that he found no legal impediment to proceeding with the sentencing.
Trump's conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records poses a unique situation as he prepares to take office, potentially making him the first convicted president.
Prosecutors have acknowledged the need to consider Trump’s upcoming presidency but emphasized that the legal consequences of his conviction should remain intact.
