America’s newly elected President Donald Trump.
Washington: A big threat is looming over America’s newly elected President Donald Trump before his swearing-in. Trump will be sentenced on January 10 in the case of paying to silence adult star Stormy Daniels. Let us tell you that this decision in the ‘Hush Money’ case is going to come just 10 days before the date of his swearing in. Trump is going to take oath as the President of America on January 20. Let us tell you that on Friday, Judge Juan Merchan has said that he will sentence in this case, although he has also indicated that Trump will not be jailed.
The judge rejected Trump’s arguments
While talking about Trump’s punishment, Justice Juan Merchan made it clear on Friday that he will give ‘conditional discharge’ to Trump, that is, if Trump is not arrested again, the case will be canceled. Let us tell you that this will still be a big blow for Trump because his lawyers were trying to cancel the sentence. His lawyers’ argument was that Trump should be exempted from punishment because of the President assuming office. Rejecting this argument, Judge Merchan said that ‘sentencing is necessary’ and it would have to be completed before Trump’s swearing in on January 20. He said that justice can be done only by closing this case.
What is the matter of paying to keep quiet?
Let us tell you that Trump was convicted on 34 charges in the month of May. The allegations relate to making a confidential payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the final days of her 2016 election campaign. The purpose of this payment was to suppress Daniels’ allegation that she had an affair with Trump. Trump had completely rejected these allegations. Trump says that he took this step to save his marriage and it had nothing to do with the elections. Trump said that this was done only to protect the honor of the family.
If punished, Trump will create a new record
If Trump, who has superstar status in the world of politics, is convicted in the hush money case, he will create a new record in American history. If Trump is convicted, he will be America’s first convicted President. Trump’s lawyers are trying their best to ensure that he is not punished, but from Justice Merchan’s words it is certain that the Republican leader will have to face this setback before taking oath. However, Trump still has the option to appeal after his sentencing on January 10, and it remains to be seen what action he takes.
