President-elect Donald Trump is poised to become commander in chief again, this time as a convicted felon but one who has been able to sidestep sentences in three of the four criminal cases against him.

President-elect Donald Trump is appearing virtually in a New York courtroom to be sentenced for his hush money felony conviction, days before inauguration.

The criminal case brought against Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg began trial proceedings last April. After juggling courtroom visits in multiple legal cases with campaign rallies, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts against him by a New York jury on May 30, 2024.
