Today Trump was sentenced to unconditional discharge...
From NBC News
President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced to an "unconditional discharge" in the New York hush money case, making him the first president to have been sentenced for a criminal conviction once he's sworn into office Jan. 20.
The unconditional discharge, which state Judge Juan Merchan said he was likely to impose, allows Trump's conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to stand with no further penalties, such as jail time.
The sentencing was allowed to go forward after the Supreme Court decided 5-4 yesterday to reject Trump's request to drop the proceeding. Trump said he thought it was a "fair decision" and referred to possible further appeals, such as of the verdict.
