President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced today at 9:30 a.m. ET in the New York hush-money case, becoming the first U.S. president to face criminal sentencing while preparing to take office. Trump is expected to receive an unconditional discharge, meaning the conviction will stand without additional penalties such as jail time.

President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced in his New York hush money case on Friday, ending the case that found him guilty of multiple felony counts. As a convicted felon, Trump has lost the right to possess firearms, but he can still vote, hold federal office and travel outside of the country.

President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced in his New York hush money case after a jury in May convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.
