Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of a hush money trial.
Donald Trump exits the courtroom after he was convicted in his criminal trial at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York on May 30, 2024. , will remain a free man while he awaits sentencing and could avoid a prison term entirely for falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star.
In the meantime, lawyers and prosecutors will recommend sentences and then argue over them at Trump’s sentencing hearing, where Merchan will make a decision. "Typically this is not the kind of case where you would expect a first-time white-collar offender to receive a sentence of incarceration," said New York defence lawyer Andrew Weinstein, who in 2009 represented a man sentenced to three years' conditional discharge after pleading guilty to falsifying business records as part of a check-cashing scheme.
If punished beyond a fine, Trump could be placed under home confinement or subject to a curfew rather than imprisoned.
