Surprising developments have emerged regarding President-elect Donald Trump. He is set to be sentenced in the notorious hush money case involving Stormy Daniels, mere days before taking office as the nation’s leader.

The announcement was made by Justice Juan Merchan, stating that Trump will face sentencing on January 10 after his attempt to have the case dismissed was unsuccessful.

According to the statement, the sentencing will occur in New York, either in person or virtually.

This news emerged as a startling revelation when Trump’s motion to have the guilty verdict overturned was denied on Friday afternoon, catching the public’s attention.

Additional information indicates it is improbable that he will serve any jail time, as the judge intends to grant an ‘unconditional discharge.’

This decision implies that Trump will neither face fines nor be subjected to probation. Previously, he was at risk of receiving a four-year prison sentence, but that possibility has now been removed.

Justice Merchan further commented on finding the most practical resolution to bring closure while allowing Trump to proceed with his appeal.

In May, the jury convicted him on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a substantial $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at securing her silence ahead of the 2016 presidential election concerning their past affair from 18 years prior.
