President-elect Trump has been formally sentenced without penalty in his New York criminal case. The sentencing hearing took place here at the New York Criminal Court with Donald Trump appearing by video from Florida. His sentence of an unconditional discharge means no jail time, fines, or probation. Yet it results in Trump becoming the first president or president-elect who is a felon. During the hearing, the judge defended the court proceedings, but Trump lashed out at prosecutors and said his criminal trial and conviction was “a very terrible experience.”
