•US President-elect Donald Trump
US President-elect Donald Trump yesterday denounced a judge’s decision to set a sentencing date in his hush money trial before his January 20 inauguration as an “illegitimate political attack.”
“This illegitimate political attack is nothing but a Rigged Charade,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page, after Judge Juan Merchan earlier yesterday upheld Trump’s conviction by a New York jury and set his sentencing for January 10.
