Trump's hush money case verdict
On January 10, 2025, local time, a judge of the New York State Supreme Court ruled on Trump's "hush money" case, finding Trump guilty of 34 charges in the case, but in view of the fact that he is at an important stage of the presidential power transition process, he was released unconditionally without any punishment. Trump attended the sentencing hearing via video on the same day and insisted that he was innocent and had done nothing wrong. He then announced on social media that he would appeal the verdict.
