AI Summary:
President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced in New York on 34 felony counts. Judge Juan Mearchan alluded to the “unique and remarkable set of circumstances” he reiterated that US presidents are ordinary citizens in the eyes of the court. Trump is already the first to have been impeached twice, though neither impeachment resulted in a conviction. Lead prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said the sentence “cements” his status as a convicted felon. Steinglass also noted that Trump’s public behaviour during the trial included screeds against the judge, his family, public prosecutors and the jury. The sentencing was postponed for the duration of the 2024 election campaign. Joe Biden has repeatedly threatened to instruct federal judiciary to prosecute his political enemies and journalists for alleged, usually unspecified crimes. The New York case marks Trump’s first full criminal conviction and sentencing.
