Manhattan DA suggests non-prison sentence for Trump in hush money case
Summary
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has proposed a non-prison sentence or delaying sentencing for Donald Trump in his hush money conviction to address concerns over presidential immunity without dismissing the case.
Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in May for falsifying business records tied to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
Bragg rejected Trump’s argument for case dismissal based on immunity as president-elect, stating no such legal protection exists and emphasizing the importance of upholding the jury’s unanimous verdict and the rule of law.

And then they wonder why Americans were celebrating the death of a greedy fuck, because of shit like this. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING TIRED.
Our court system is irredeemably unjust.
And are willing to do absolutely nothing about it...
Who is trying to bust Luigi out? Who is copying him? Who is doing anything about this? But they are happy to complain on the internet about it, so at least there is that.
Okay, and with that generalization. What are YOU doing about it?
Living over 10.000 miles away, and trying to get a shit hole country to move it's ass.
how much did martha stewart get?
how many other people have gotten 34 felonies and not served time?! his current status as president is irrelevant to his criminal behavior.
Cowards.
There’s unprecedented gray area in the “presidential immunity.” Technically the crime was committed when he reimbursed Cohen, which was done with presidential payroll once Trump took office. He’ll appeal this until he’s dead.
It's not a gray area but rather an area entirely covered in barf.
Can't be true. Believe it or not, Trump donated his presidential payroll back to federal agencies.
I was SHOCKED when I first learned this. Like one of the weirdest things for him to keep his word on.
