Democratic members of congress were less reactive to the sentencing of President-elect Trump on Friday, where he was sentenced with no penalty in the New York criminal trial.
Democratic lawmakers were noticeably silent following the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump despite previously commenting on the cases against him, as Washington prepares for a Republican trifecta in Congress. Trump was sentenced on Friday after being found guilty on 34 charges related to falsifying business records in May. The incoming president was sentenced to unconditional discharge, which means that he will not receive any jail time, fine or probation time.
Trump filed an emergency petition to the Supreme Court on Wednesday in an effort to prevent his Jan. 10 sentencing, but the high court ultimately denied his emergency petition to block his sentencing. Fox News' Brooke Singman contributed to this report.
