Former U.S. President Trump's criminal trial on charges of falsifying business records continues in New York

United States president-elect, Donald Trump has been sentenced to unconditional discharge for his conviction last year on 34 charges of business fraud related to hush money payment to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Unconditional discharge means Trump will not be imprisoned, fined or face probation, but his conviction still stands, and he will enter office as a convicted felon.

Prosecutors had recommended the sentence, saying in court on Friday: “we must be respectful of the office of the presidency” and Trump’s pending inauguration.

He is getting ready for Inauguration Day which is January 20.
