Trump Sentenced Before Inauguration

Donald Trump was recently sentenced to jail on 34 felony counts, all connected with the hush-money payments he made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. The Supreme Court denied Trump's efforts to delay sentencing, and he received a formal sentence in a virtual hearing. Trump has professed his innocence, arguing that politically motivated charges form part of the "weaponization" of the justice system. The case involved falsifying business records to cover up the payments, which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued concealed illegal campaign finance activities. Despite that conviction, Trump went ahead to win the presidential election held later and is set to be sworn in.
