Manhattan Judge Juan M Merchan, however, chose a sentence that sidestepped thorny constitutional issues by effectively ending the case. The verdict, however, ensured that the Republican would become the first-ever US president with a felony conviction.
The judge said he must consider any aggravating factors before imposing a sentence. However, he added, the legal protection that Trump will enjoy as the president “is a factor that overrides all others.”
The judge said the legal protections for a president don’t have the power to erase a jury verdict.
