President-elect Donald Trump doesn’t have to go to jail, pay a fine or perform community service as a result of his New York hush money conviction. A judge ended the case Friday with a sentence of an unconditional discharge, closing the case with no punishment.

A judge has sentenced US President-elect Donald Trump to an "unconditional discharge," bringing to an end the first criminal trial of a former US president. The sentence means the incoming president has been spared any penalty, including jail time or a fine.

President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced without penalty Friday for his felony conviction in his hush money trial at what was probably his final court hearing as a criminal defendant before he is sworn in for another term in the White House.
