In a surprising turn of events, former U.S. President Donald Trump has been granted an unconditional discharge in his hush money case by a New York judge. Juan Merchan, who has been overseeing the case, delivered the sentence on Friday, as reported by various media outlets.
What does this mean for Trump? Essentially, he faces no fines or probation supervision, allowing him to move forward without any legal repercussions from this particular case.
Trump's attempt to halt the sentencing was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court last Thursday, solidifying the judge's decision and paving the way for Trump's discharge.
This development marks another significant moment in Trump's ongoing legal battles, showcasing the complexities and challenges of high-profile cases in the U.S.
