Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan emphasized that 'a sentence of an unconditional discharge appears to be the most viable solution to ensure finality and allow Defendant to pursue his appellate options,' indicating this decision prioritized both closure and the defendant's rights.
Rejecting Trump's claims, Judge Merchan stated the notion that 'circumstances have changed' with the election win is 'disingenuous,' reinforcing that a president-elect isn't immune from legal repercussions.
