Donald Trump convicted but exempted from punishment in Stormy Daniels case

President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced Friday in his hush money case, but the judge declined to impose any punishment, an outcome that cements his conviction while freeing him to return to the White House without the threat of a prison time or a fine.

Guilt confirmed but exempted from punishment. Donald Trump escaped a prison sentence on Friday, January 10, in New York, after his conviction in the Stormy Daniels case. A verdict that confirms a historic criminal conviction for a president-elect of the United States.

Donald Trump appeared by video during this hearing at the Manhattan Criminal Court, denouncing “a disgrace to the system”. With this symbolic sentence, he will enter the White House on January 20, at the age of 78, with the label of a repeat offender.

The United States Supreme Court had rejected the day before Donald Trump’s appeal against the pronouncement of his sentence ten days before his return to the White House.

Donald Trump was found guilty on May 30 in this case of concealed payments to the porn actress Stormy Daniels of “aggravated false accounting to conceal a conspiracy to pervert the 2016 election”. An infamous first for a former American president and now for a president-elect.

Shortly after the Supreme Court decision, Donald Trump thanked it for having “tried to remedy the great injustice of which I was a victim”, without forgetting to attack as usual Judge Merchan, described as “extremely political and corrupt”. “I am innocent of all the false accusations invented by the judge”, he insisted on his Truth Social network, adding that he would continue to appeal in this case.

An appeal by ordinary means remains possible


After several unsuccessful appeals, the lawyers of the president-elect, who will take office on January 20, petitioned the United States Supreme Court on Tuesday to ask it to urgently suspend the proceedings in order to “prevent a serious injustice and an attack on the institution of the presidency and the functioning of the federal government”.

By a majority of five votes to four, those of the three progressive justices and two conservatives, the Court considered in particular that Donald Trump could still appeal his conviction by ordinary means before the courts of the State of New York.

In addition, “the burden that the sentencing will place on the responsibilities of the president-elect is relatively minor in view of the intention announced by the court to pronounce a ‘waiver of sentence’ after a brief virtual hearing”.

The sentencing is of “major public interest”, according to Alvin Bragg


The Supreme Court thus accepts the arguments presented by the Manhattan prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, who had asked it to reject this last appeal by Donald Trump.

“There is a strong public interest in sentencing,” he argued, recalling that Judge Merchan had “taken extraordinary measures to minimize the burden on the defendant,” including announcing that he would not sentence him to prison.

Donald Trump “has provided no factual evidence to support his claim that his duties as president-elect would virtually preclude him from attending a hearing that is unlikely to last more than an hour,” the prosecutor who convicted the former president also noted.

The case concerns concealed payments of $130,000, in the final stretch of the 2016 presidential election against Hillary Clinton, to Stormy Daniels, to keep quiet about a sexual encounter ten years earlier. A relationship that Donald Trump has always denied.

Of the four criminal proceedings against Donald Trump, this case is the only one in which a trial was held for the man who was then a candidate in the presidential election that he won, an unprecedented scenario in American history.
