Donald Trump's sentence in the **hush money case** is being characterized as **unusually lenient** for a felony conviction, according to a defense attorney.
This was the only criminal case among Trump's four that resulted in a **conviction**, with others remaining unresolved.
Trump faces **34 felony counts** related to falsifying business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Judge Juan Merchan plans to impose an **unconditional discharge**, meaning Trump may have no further consequences post-sentencing.
The **sentencing** will occur before Trump's inauguration on January 20, solidifying his status as a felon while preparing for his next presidential term.
