Donald Trump has received an unconditional discharge sentence for his hush-money conviction, becoming the first felony convict to assume the presidency.
He was accused of manipulating business documents related to a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, a claim he denies.
During the sentencing, Trump described the case as a "political witch hunt" aimed to damage his reputation.
Trump criticized his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and mentioned his belief in winning the 2024 election by a significant margin.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump labeled the entire process as a "despicable charade" and plans to appeal the case.
