Presenting the virtual courthouse of his home at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, the president chose Donald Trump sentenced to his crimes in the “Hush Money” case in New York and released without restrictions.

Judge Juan Merchan followed a promise made a week ago to give Trump an absolute probation sentence, which comes with a criminal sentence or any other restriction that could obstruct Trump after his inauguration on Jan. 20.

Merchan said in Friday’s sentencing that she granted the sentence because she believed it was the only legal option, just 10 days before Trump took office.

Merchan told the court that “it was an ordinary case at the point of fact”, even if once the courts came out, the trial itself had not been more special or exclusive than any other.  

However, he told Trump, one cannot say that much of the cases surrounding the conviction of the president-elect “because he previously occupied and will soon occupy again. “were the legal protections afforded to the President that were extraordinary, “not the occupant of the. “

Those legal protections were a factor that overrode all others, Merchan said, but they were not a mitigating factor. He said they did not reduce the seriousness of the crimes or erase the jury’s verdict. 

Merchan said he decided that the only legal penalty he can pronounce without encroaching on the country’s highest position was an unconditional release.

Donald Trump, the civilian, he said, has not received such an indulgent sentence.

In the Court Chamber, Trump and the lawyer of Todd Blanche, who was also operated through the preaspeta, chosen to serve as a general subcropper, can notice through an appearance of video flow through the appearance, with two Visible American flags, in a room with dark wood walls.

Trump was given the opportunity to address the court. He called the trial “a very terrible experience” and “a tremendous setback for New York.” 

“With all the horrible things that are going on, I got indicted for calling a legal expense a legal expense,” Trump said, referring to the falsified reimbursements to a former lawyer, for a “hush money” payment at the core of the case. 

“It’s a political witch hunt,” Trump told the camera. “My reputation was damaged so that I lost the election, and obviously it didn’t work. “

“The fact is, I’m completely innocent,” Trump said. I didn’t do anything wrong. “

Before the sentencing, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said Trump’s moves attacking the judicial formula and prosecutors in this case “constitute a direct attack on the rule of law itself. “

“Far from expressing any remorse for his conduct by Crook, the defendant intentionally raised disdain for our judicial establishments and the rule of law, and did so to serve his own ends and inspire others to reject the jury’s verdict that he thus unearthed. nasty,” Steinglass said.  

“In a nutshell, this defendant has caused pain in the public’s belief of the Formula of Justice of Crook and has placed judicial officials in the dangerous way,” Steinglass said.

Blanche said that he strongly disagreed with Steinglass’ assessment of the case and Trump’s conduct. He claimed it was not just Trump and experts cited by Trump who felt the case should not have been brought, but the majority of the American people, referring to those who voted for the Republican in November. 

In each round, Trump and his lawyers have fought against Manhattan’s prosecutors since the investigation of “silence of silence” began in 2018. They challenged Merchan’s prosecutors and decisions, continuously fighting in the Supreme Court, adding a Effort this week to Friday’s audience.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court said it would not interfere on behalf of Trump, racing the way for Merchan to take into account its decision. “Noting that the judges of the Supreme Court emphasized that he could appeal and that there would be” really . . . without penalty. “

“But we are going to on anyway,” he added in his remarks on Thursday evening.  

“Then, I will do my little thing tomorrow. They can laugh with their political opponent,” Trump said.

Although there are no chambers in the courtroom, an audio recording of the procedure will be after the end of the hearing.  

While Trump’s trial and accusation brought crowds and night lines on Friday morning, the scarce general public line and no spectator in the park in the other aspect of the street vision before dawn.

Trump discovered guilt in May after a seven -week trial. A unanimous jury concluded that he had committed 34 crimes through the authorization of a program in 2017 to falsify the records, to cover the reimbursements of a “silent money” to the adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Daniels testified during the trial, as did Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen, who received the falsified reimbursements for his wire to Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election. Cohen gave Daniels the $130,000 payment in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump years earlier. 

Several witnesses said Trump was angry with the electorate and had not learned Daniels’ story before the 2016 election.

Merchan owned Trump 10 times during the trial for violations of a gag recipe that forbade him to make public comments on witnesses, the court personnel and others. When issuing the tenth appointment of contempt, Merchan, who identified the exclusive cases of the trial and his notable and hard defendant, pressed the probable sentence on Friday.

“The last thing I must do is put you in jail,” said Merchan.

On Friday, Merchan told Trump: “The only legal sentence that allows a condemnation trial to be made without invading the highest on Earth is an absolute download.

“Godspeed when you are your moment,” said Merchan.
