Donald Trump was sentenced in New York on Friday, capping a long and, at times, embarrassing ordeal that saw him become the first ex-president to be criminally convicted.

Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump on Friday to no jail time, probation, or fines after he was convicted by a jury of falsifying business records.

A judge sentenced President-elect Trump for his felony conviction in the New York hush money case to an "unconditional discharge," meaning there will be no penalty. Trump remained defiant, saying prosecutors failed to stop him from winning the election.
