New York: America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has been convicted by the American court in the hush money case (porn star case). However, Trump escaped from going to jail. New York Judge Juan Merchan declared Donald Trump guilty of giving hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels but did not give him any punishment.
Trump avoided jail even after being proven guilty
According to the report, the judge ordered Trump’s unconditional discharge. This means that Trump will neither have to go to jail nor pay any fine. According to the court order, Trump was undoubtedly saved from going to jail but his political career got a blemish. Because this is the first case when a President has been convicted in any cases. With this the matter ended here.
Paving the way for Trump’s second term
Trump’s unconditional release brought great relief to Trump. According to the information, Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan could sentence Trump to up to four years in prison. However, he chose a decision that effectively disposed of the case, preventing many constitutional issues from arising. The court’s decision is being seen as a big relief for Trump and it has also cleared the way for him to return to the White House for a second term as President.
Trump became the first President to be punished by the court
Trump will be the first person to hold the office of President in America who has been convicted in a criminal case and formally sentenced. The case pertains to Trump, through one of his associates, paying US$130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election, so that she would not go public about having sex with him.
The former President had requested the Supreme Court to stay the sentencing in the case related to paying a porn star to keep her mouth shut. However, the Supreme Court had rejected Trump’s petition, clearing the way for Justice Merchan to announce his sentence on Friday.
