In his hush money trial, which started jury deliberations earlier this week, Donald Trump has complained about the chilly and uncomfortable atmosphere in a Manhattan courtroom. Trump may be subject to circumstances that he would find even more humiliating if found guilty. “If you think the courtroom is dingy, just wait until you go to the probation office,” said Daniel Horwitz, a white-collar defense attorney and former prosecutor, The reported.
Former prosecutors have outlined possible scenarios if Trump is found guilty of any of the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records relating to a $130,000 payment made by the Trump campaign to actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election to silence her about an alleged sexual relationship. According to legal experts, Trump, 77, who has no past criminal record, is unlikely to face jail, per Forbes.
The Class E felony accusations carry sentences ranging from 16 months to four years in jail. Among the important problems to be addressed is whether Trump would face jail, or a less restricted sentence such as probation.
