Dems ‘Lost’ Another ‘Witch Hunt’: Trump Responds To Hush Money Sentencing

Just minutes after Judge Juan Merchan imposed an “unconditional discharge” sentence on President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, Trump blasted Democrats for the “pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt.”

While the unconditional discharge sentence carries no further punishments, it cements Trump’s status as a felon days before he is sworn in for his second term in the White House. Before imposing the sentence, Judge Merchan said the court had never seen such a “unique and remarkable set of circumstances,” adding that Trump is only protected from a prison sentence because the office of president shields him. In a Truth Social post, Trump argued that the unconditional discharge “proves that, as all Legal Scholars and Experts have said, THERE IS NO CASE, THERE WAS NEVER A CASE.”
