A judge has sentenced Donald Trump to an unconditional discharge for covering up hush money payments to a porn star despite the US president-elect’s last-ditch efforts to avoid becoming the first felon in the White House.
Stonix News reported Friday that Trump will receive the mildest criminal sanction available, an unconditional discharge – a relatively uncommon measure.

He was also forced to look on as witnesses testified that he had fraudulently covered up illicit payments to Stormy Daniels in an effort to stop her from disclosing their tryst ahead of the presidential election in 2016.
The judge spared Trump prison or a fine even though the 34 counts of falsifying business records on which he was convicted in May 2024 carried potential jail time.
An unconditional discharge is a type of sentence in a court of law where the accused is found guilty of a crime but no penalty, fine, or punishment is imposed. In essence, the accused is set free without any consequences or obligations.
