I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Friday, January 10th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
President-elect Donald Trump will face no punishment for his hush money conviction. Daily Wire senior editor Ash Short has the story.
Donald Trump was sentenced to an unconditional discharge Friday by Judge Juan Merchan, but the president-elect is now officially marked as a felon, at least for now. Trump appeared on video from Mar-a-Lago and was allowed to speak. He criticized the trial as unfair, pointing to his election victory as evidence that the American people had rejected the charges against him.
Judge Merchant acknowledged the unprecedented nature of the case, but said Trump remains subject to the law despite his presidential status. Trump, who plans to appeal his conviction, was found guilty of falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments, but argued the trial was politically motivated.
