The sentencing date for Trump was set earlier this month by New York Judge Juan Merchan, ahead of his January inauguration as president. Twenty. Merchan denied the former and incoming president’s request to have the case’s verdict overturned in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling last year regarding presidential immunity.
The sentencing of Trump is scheduled for Friday, January. 10, at 9:30 a.m. A. Merchan has previously declared that he will grant the president-elect an “unconditional discharge,” meaning no punishment, rather than a prison sentence.

In the Manhattan case, Trump was convicted in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Trump has consistently insisted that he is innocent in the case and denounced it as an instance of lawfare that Democrats are pushing to undermine his chances of winning the presidency in November.

There is absolutely no case against me, according to almost every legal scholar and commentator. Like the other New York judicial and prosecutorial witch hunts, the judge made up the facts and the law. Because of this, companies are escaping New York, taking millions of jobs and billions of dollars in taxes with them. The legal system is flawed, and companies cannot risk becoming entangled in this maze. On the Sunday night of the case, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “IT’S ALL RIGGED, in this case against a political opponent, ME!!!.
Trump’s sentencing in the case has been postponed several times. After the Supreme Court decided in July that former presidents have significant immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office but not for unofficial acts, Trump’s attorneys had asked Merchan to reverse the former president’s guilty verdict.
