Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, former assistant U.S. attorney Andy McCarthy and former federal prosecutor Trey Gowdy provide analysis of President-elect Trump’s sentencing in the New York criminal case.
From the Christian Science Monitor:
Facing a maximum sanction of four years in prison, Mr. Trump received an unconditional discharge sentence from New York state Judge Juan Merchan–meaning his conviction on business fraud charges stands, but he faces no incarceration, fines, or probation. But while the sentence is minimal – unusually so, according to some experts – it is also unprecedented.
Mr. Trump is now the first former president, and president-elect, to be officially branded a felon. The somewhat surreal proceeding – Mr. Trump appeared via video link – closes a chapter in only one of four criminal cases brought against the former president.
