President-elect Donald Trump must face sentencing in his criminal hush money case on Jan. 10, a New York judge ordered on Friday, an unexpected conflict he must face just 10 days before the inauguration.
Trump was found guilty in May by a Manhattan jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to conceal a hush money payment to pornography star Stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 election. The decision means Trump will likely become the first felon to serve as U.S. president, though the judge indicated he would not face any jail time.
