Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.
Donald Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. He is now the first former U.S. president to be criminally convicted at trial. Trump’s sentencing will happen at a later date. Incarceration is not mandatory in this case. For each count, Trump could just be fined or receive a maximum sentence of up to 4 years . And we shouldn't expect consecutive prison terms on multiple counts.
The presumptive GOP nominee has three other indictments pending, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Trump is also running for president in an election whose outcome affects when his other trials go forward — and, when it comes to his federal cases in particular, whether they go forward at all. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
