president-elect Donald TrumpHis sentencing in New York on his “close money” case will finally come down…just 10 days before he returns to the White House.
A shocking twist Friday, judge Juan Mercan Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for January 10th, but all indications are that Trump will NOT be thrown behind bars.
Merchan’s written decision, obtained by TMZ, signals that he will sentence Trump to what’s known as parole … meaning Trump’s case will be cut short if he isn’t arrested again.
Trump tried to throw out his guilty verdict and the whole case was thrown out of court … claiming he had presidential immunity after his re-election … but Merchan says there’s “no legal bar” to a conviction.
As you know, Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies Prosecutors say he framed the porn star for falsifying business records to hide payments Stormy Daniels.
Trump could face up to 4 years in prison, but again, it looks like the judge won’t go that route… given that January 20th, inauguration day, is just around the corner.

It’s unclear whether Trump will appear in person at the New York courthouse next Friday… Merchan said Trump could appear in person or virtually, and Trump has until Sunday to inform the court of his plans.
The verdict will make for another crazy week for Trump. Monday is the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6 uprising, and it’s also the day Trump’s 2024 election victory will be confirmed.
A week of protest, a protest buckle!!!
