‘DISGRACE TO THE SYSTEM,’ TRUMP SAYS AFTER HUSH MONEY CONVICTION
Read Time:43 Second
US President-elect Donald Trump called his criminal prosecution a “disgrace to the system” on Friday ahead of his sentencing for covering up hush money payments to a porn star.
“It was done to damage my reputation so I would lose the election and obviously that didn’t work,” he said.
“It’s a disgrace to the system.”
A judge sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge Friday for covering up hush money payments to a porn star despite the US president-elect’s last-ditch efforts to avoid becoming the first felon in the White House.
“This court has determined that the only lawful sentence that permits entry of a judgement of conviction without encroaching on the highest office of the land, is an unconditional discharge”,” said New York judge Juan Merchan delivering the sentence during a court session that Trump attended virtually.
