Supreme Court lets former President Trump's sentencing proceed in "hush money" case, with no jail time.

The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in the sentencing of former President Donald Trump in his New York "hush money" case, allowing the process to proceed as planned. Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records related to a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her about an alleged affair. Despite the conviction, Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump but did not impose any punishment, meaning Trump will not face jail time or fines. This decision marks Trump as the first convicted felon to become president.
