THE 45TH AND SOON-TO-BE 47TH U.S. PRESIDENT 

Donald Trump Is Sentenced 

Judge Juan Merchan Upholds Guilty Verdict

TORONTO - Donald Trump walks through history with an unparalleled record as the first-ever president-elect, and soon-to-be President of the United States, convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying his business records to conceal hush money payment to a porn star he had sex with, a charge he had consistently denied.

New York Judge Juan Merchan, formally upholding on Friday (January 10, 2025) the guilty verdict handed down last year by a New York grand jury, sentenced the 78-year-old Trump to "unconditional discharge" and released with no jail time.


Trump, the 45th US president, and on January 20 the 47th after winning the 2024 election against Vice President Kamala Harris, succeeds incumbent Joe Biden. 

He takes over the White House, the most powerful office in the world,  with a felony conviction to his name. Trump appeared in the New York court virtually from his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. (Copyright 2025. All Rights Reserved.)
