DONALD Trump is set to be sentenced for covering up hush money payments to a porn star despite the US President-elect’s last-ditch efforts to frustrate a process that would make him the first felon in the White House.
The judge, however, indicated that Trump will not face prison, even though the 34 counts of falsifying business records on which he was convicted in May 2024 carry potential prison time.

It is instead anticipated that he will receive the mildest criminal sanction available, an unconditional discharge — a relatively uncommon measure.
The sentencing, which Trump is expected to attend virtually, will happen on today, Friday, in the Manhattan courtroom that was the scene of the trial’s legal wrangling and personal attacks by the divisive Republican.
Trump was forced to look on as witnesses testified that he had fraudulently covered up illicit payments to Stormy Daniels in an effort to stop her disclosing their tryst ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
