NEW YORK, United States — A judge sentenced Donald 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.
New York judge Juan Merchan handed down no jail time or fine, but the discharge upholds the jury's guilty verdict — and confirmed Trump's infamy as the first former president convicted of a felony.
