New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has set a date for sentencing in President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money case. The judge ruled on Friday that Trump would be sentenced on January 10, under two weeks before he’s set to assume the presidency.
The planned sentencing hearing comes more than six months after a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The scheduled date brings to an end the indefinite postponement in sentencing following Trump’s November election win.
