President-elect Donald Trump will not face jail time or fines following his criminal conviction in the hush money case involving Stormy Daniels. A New York judge granted Trump unconditional discharge, leaving a guilty judgment on his record without further penalties. Trump, who has vowed to appeal, called the case a "political witch hunt" aimed at damaging his reputation. The conviction stems from falsifying business records over a $130,000 payment to Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump denies wrongdoing, asserting his innocence. This marks the first criminal case against a US president as Trump prepares for his White House return.
