President-elect Donald Trump is facing sentencing for his New York hush money conviction after the nation's highest court refused to intervene.

President-elect Trump was spared any punishment for his hush money criminal conviction Friday when a New York judge sentenced him to an unconditional discharge, eschewing jail time while securing his status as the first felon to assume the presidency.

In the first test of how receptive the court may be to Trump, 4 of the court's 6 conservative members said they would have granted his emergency request.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued that sentencing should proceed to avoid more complex legal hurdles once Trump becomes president. Trump will be sentenced Friday morning in New York, with Judge Juan Merchan expected to impose an unconditional discharge — a minimal sentence that spares Trump prison,

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money case sentenced the president-elect to an “unconditional discharge.’’ His conviction stands, but with no more penalties.
