Trump is punished for buying silence, but there is no punishment
The US President-elect, Donald Trump

US President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced in the case against him for buying silence, but the judge has refused to impose any legal consequences.

This decision cements Trump's conviction, but allows him to return to the White House unhindered and without the threat of prison terms or fines.

It was the first time that a former president or a presidential candidate appeared before the court as accused of a criminal offense. This was one of four criminal charges against Trump that went to trial.

Trump, through a post on the Truth Social network, described the sentence as a "disgusting event".

"Today's events were despicable, and now that this is over, we will appeal this baseless fraud and restore Americans' faith in our once-great justice system," he wrote.

Manhattan judge Juan M. Merchan was able to sentence the 78-year-old Republican to up to 4 years in prison. But he chose not to impose any punishment on the US president-elect.

Trump was found guilty in May of last year by a New York court on all 34 charges he faced for falsifying the company's business records, becoming the first US president or former president to be convicted of a felony. .

Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through payments to silence a porn actress who said she had sex with him.

He was charged with 34 felony counts, including forging 11 invoices, 12 coupons and 11 checks, to conceal a $130,000 payment he made to Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about her allegations of wrongdoing. sexual relationship with Trump in 2006.

Daniels wanted to go public about the alleged affair with Trump a month before the 2016 election, which would have damaged the Republican nominee's presidential campaign.

Trump has said that her confession was false and has denied all the accusations./Rel
