A New York judge has set January 10, 2025, as the sentencing date for U.S. president-elect Donald Trump in the hush money case involving Stormy Daniels. Convicted in May of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records, Trump faces a conditional discharge, likely avoiding jail. His spokesperson slammed the case as "lawless" and a "witch hunt." The $130,000 payment allegedly aimed to silence Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. Trump denied the allegations and plans to challenge the ruling. The sentencing comes just 10 days before his presidential inauguration, marking a historic first for a president-elect.
