Unlike his lengthy criminal trial, Donald Trump's sentencing on Friday was brief, lasting only about thirty minutes where he was deemed a felon.
His conviction in May encompassed 34 counts of falsifying business records, tied to a scandal that nearly derailed his 2016 presidential campaign.
Though his sentencing was predictable and symbolic, it marked a historic precedent: Trump will be the first felon to assume the presidency.
His sentencing concluded with an unconditional discharge, a rare decision that means he faces no jail time or additional requirements from the court.
