Judge Sets January 10 Sentencing Date for Trump in Hush Money Case

A New York judge has scheduled January 10, 2025, as the sentencing date for former President Donald Trump in his hush money case just 10 days before his scheduled inauguration.

Presiding Judge Juan Merchan announced the date on Friday and indicated that he is unlikely to impose jail time on the former president.

The case stems from allegations of hush money payments made during Trump’s previous presidential campaign.

The sentencing marks a significant legal development ahead of Trump’s return to the White House
