Details of the judgment and other events that occurred yesterday
8
00:00:27,079 –> 00:00:30,079
at the court while Justice John Matchen was presenting the
9
00:00:30,160 –> 00:00:33,479
judgment is published in our audio and video versions of
10
00:00:33,520 –> 00:00:38,159
these news reports. President elect Donald Trump was sentenced to
11
00:00:38,679 –> 00:00:42,719
on conditional discharge for thirty four charges of business fraud
12
00:00:42,799 –> 00:00:46,000
related to harsh money payment to Stormy Daniels during the
13
00:00:46,079 –> 00:00:52,280
twenty sixteen presidential campaign. President elect Donald Trump was sentenced
14
00:00:52,320 –> 00:00:55,799
Friday morning in New York after the Supreme Court refused
15
00:00:55,840 –> 00:00:59,479
to block the sentences, making him the first US president
16
00:00:59,520 –> 00:01:03,439
to become victims and sentenced for a crime to take office.
17
00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:07,920
Trump appeared virtually from my Alago, according to local media,
18
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:11,280
while others also reported that he appeared virtually for the
19
00:01:11,319 –> 00:01:14,959
sentencing at a court room in New York. Trunk could
20
00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:17,959
have been sentenced of up to four years in prison.
21
00:01:18,079 –> 00:01:21,439
What instance, was delivered a sentence that does not include
22
00:01:21,480 –> 00:01:24,719
penalties like jol term or probation in what’s called an
23
00:01:24,799 –> 00:01:30,879
unconditional discharge. And unconditional discharge in legal terms, means that
24
00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:33,920
the person is convicted of the charges but is not
25
00:01:34,040 –> 00:01:40,359
punished further, such as with jail time, probation, or fines. Essentially,
26
00:01:40,840 –> 00:01:45,400
they are released without any conditions attached to their discharge.
27
00:01:45,480 –> 00:01:48,519
This can happen in cases where the court determines that
28
00:01:48,640 –> 00:01:52,400
the conviction itself serves as enough of a deterrent or punishment.
29
00:01:52,879 –> 00:01:56,599
According to local observers in the United States of America,
30
00:01:57,400 –> 00:02:01,719
Trunk doesn’t face any jail time, finds of probation, but
31
00:02:01,879 –> 00:02:05,319
his conviction still stands and he will enter office as
32
00:02:05,359 –> 00:02:09,719
a convicted fellow. One of the observers added. The source
33
00:02:09,840 –> 00:02:14,120
News Media reported that George Marchant emphasized that while the
34
00:02:14,199 –> 00:02:19,400
Office of the Presidency grants considerable legal protections, those protections
35
00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:23,120
do not diminish the seriousness of the crime. One power
36
00:02:23,159 –> 00:02:25,680
that do not provide is the power to erase a
37
00:02:25,759 –> 00:02:31,000
jury verdict, Marchant stated, acknowledging the citizenry’s role in returning
38
00:02:31,039 –> 00:02:36,400
Trump to office despite the conviction. According to C and N, Trump,
39
00:02:36,800 –> 00:02:42,080
appearing virtually from my ilago, maintained his innocence. The fact
40
00:02:42,240 –> 00:02:46,400
is I’m totally innocent. I did nothing wrong, he said,
41
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:50,960
calling the case a political witch hunt designed to damage
42
00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:56,639
his reputation. Trump also criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg,
43
00:02:57,039 –> 00:03:00,000
claiming the case was on warranton and humed New York’s
44
00:03:00,120 –> 00:03:05,560
judicial system. New York states that unconditional discharge is when
45
00:03:05,599 –> 00:03:10,680
a defendant is convicted without punishment such as imprisonment, a fine,
46
00:03:11,039 –> 00:03:16,560
or probation supervision. While Trump expressed the satisfaction with the outcome,
47
00:03:16,960 –> 00:03:20,159
his legal team views the sentencing as a start toward
48
00:03:20,240 –> 00:03:26,280
appealing the conviction. Despite his felony conviction, the unconditional discharge
49
00:03:26,280 –> 00:03:29,599
means Trump will first know further penalties directly tied to
50
00:03:29,639 –> 00:03:33,199
the case, allowing him to focus on his political agenda
51
00:03:33,319 –> 00:03:37,520
and upcoming cabinet confirmations. The source report ends in quote
52
00:03:38,360 –> 00:03:43,360
President elect Donald Trump on Friday was sentenced to unconditional discharge,
53
00:03:43,400 –> 00:03:47,439
just ten days before his invaboration. The case stems from
54
00:03:47,520 –> 00:03:51,319
accusations that he falsified business records to conceal a one
55
00:03:51,360 –> 00:03:55,240
hundred and thirty thousand dollars payment to Stormy Daniels, who
56
00:03:55,240 –> 00:03:57,639
claims to have had an affair with Trump in two
57
00:03:57,719 –> 00:04:01,120
thousand and six, a claim he did is calling the
58
00:04:01,199 –> 00:04:06,879
prosecution politically motivated. Tromp, during the sentences, discussed his twenty
59
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:10,919
twenty four election victory claimon he won the popular vote
60
00:04:10,919 –> 00:04:15,120
by millions and millions of votes and secured all seven
61
00:04:15,240 –> 00:04:20,480
swing states. Added, they’ve been watching you trial, so they
62
00:04:20,600 –> 00:04:24,800
understood it, referring to the voters. He also argued that
63
00:04:24,959 –> 00:04:29,160
legal fees were recorded by accountants as legal expenses, not
64
00:04:29,319 –> 00:04:33,560
by him personally. Legal fees were put down as legal
65
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:38,240
expenses by accountants, the ones put down by me. Trump said,
66
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:42,199
it’s incredible. Actually, would your client.
67
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: Like to be heard?
68
00:04:44,759 –> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. This has been a very terrible experience.
69
00:04:49,720 –> 00:04:52,079
I think it’s been a tremendous set back to New
70
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:55,519
York and the New York court system. This is a
71
00:04:55,639 –> 00:04:58,759
case that Alvin Brad did not want to bring.
72
00:05:00,560 –> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: He thought it was, from.
73
00:05:02,399 –> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: What I read and from what I hear, inappropriately handled.
74
00:05:08,480 –> 00:05:12,399
Before he got there, a gentleman from a law firm
75
00:05:12,480 –> 00:05:16,480
came in and acted as a district attorney, and that
76
00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:22,279
gentleman from what I heard, was a criminal or almost criminal,
77
00:05:22,279 –> 00:05:26,199
and what he did it was very appropriate. It was
78
00:05:26,800 –> 00:05:32,279
somebody involved with my political opponent. Part of the records
79
00:05:32,279 –> 00:05:35,680
that we’re talking about, they’re saying, I just noticed where
80
00:05:35,680 –> 00:05:40,360
he said I was falsifying business records. Well, the falsification
81
00:05:40,519 –> 00:05:43,480
of business records, as they said it was calling a
82
00:05:43,560 –> 00:05:46,199
legal expense in the books where everybody could see them
83
00:05:46,279 –> 00:05:49,160
a legal expense. In other words, that legal fees or
84
00:05:49,160 –> 00:05:53,600
a legal expense were put down as legal expense by accountants.
85
00:05:53,839 –> 00:05:55,639
They weren’t put down by me. They were put down
86
00:05:55,639 –> 00:06:00,279
by accountants. I didn’t call them construction concrete work, didn’t
87
00:06:00,319 –> 00:06:02,879
call them electrical work, I didn’t call them an They
88
00:06:02,920 –> 00:06:06,040
called a legal fee or a legal expense, a legal expense,
89
00:06:06,079 –> 00:06:09,639
and for this I got indicted. It.
90
00:06:09,639 –> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: It’s incredible.
91
00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: Actually, now if you look, my attorney alluded to it.
92
00:06:15,639 –> 00:06:21,000
The top legal scholars and legal pundits in this country,
93
00:06:21,199 –> 00:06:23,959
the ones that have quoted all the time on television,
94
00:06:24,000 –> 00:06:28,120
that are making their views felt and highly respected people
95
00:06:29,480 –> 00:06:33,439
have said everyone, virtually everyone that I know. I haven’t
96
00:06:33,480 –> 00:06:37,600
seen any to the contrary, not one. And these people
97
00:06:37,639 –> 00:06:39,920
are not exactly friends of mine, to put it mildly,
98
00:06:41,000 –> 00:06:42,839
but they all said this is a case that should
99
00:06:42,839 –> 00:06:48,800
have never been brought as an injustice of justice. Very
100
00:06:48,839 –> 00:06:55,360
respected Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy, Judge David Rifkin, a wonderful
101
00:06:55,360 –> 00:06:59,720
man who just passed away, by the way, Greg Jared
102
00:07:01,000 –> 00:07:05,399
Elie Honig from CNN, of all places, CNN said that
103
00:07:05,759 –> 00:07:10,680
Paul and Grassiat Alan Dershowitz, they all said, this is
104
00:07:10,720 –> 00:07:13,560
not a case that should be brought. It’s not think
105
00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:17,560
about legal expenses. Are down as legal expenses and I
106
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,759
get indicted for business records. Everybody should be so accurate.
107
00:07:22,480 –> 00:07:25,720
It’s been a political witch hunter. Was done to damage
108
00:07:25,720 –> 00:07:29,560
my reputation so that I’d lose the election, and obviously
109
00:07:29,639 –> 00:07:32,360
that didn’t work. And the people of our country got
110
00:07:32,399 –> 00:07:34,920
to see this firsthand because they watched the case in
111
00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:37,759
your courtroom. They got to see this firsthand. And then
112
00:07:37,759 –> 00:07:40,199
they voted, and I want and got the number of
113
00:07:40,279 –> 00:07:45,040
votes by far of any Republican candidate in history, and one,
114
00:07:45,120 –> 00:07:50,560
as you know, all seven swing states, one conclusively all
115
00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:55,240
seven swing states, and one the popularity the popular vote
116
00:07:55,920 –> 00:07:58,519
by billions and millions of votes. And they’ve been watching
117
00:07:58,560 –> 00:08:03,079
you trial understood it. I wasn’t allowed to use the
118
00:08:03,160 –> 00:08:07,759
lawyer client privilege or the reliance on counsel. Had a
119
00:08:07,879 –> 00:08:11,600
lawyer that made this deal, and he admitted that. And
120
00:08:11,680 –> 00:08:14,759
he was also a totally discredited person. We weren’t allowed
121
00:08:14,759 –> 00:08:17,680
to use the information from the Southern District that totally
122
00:08:17,680 –> 00:08:21,079
discredited him, but wasn’t allowed to be put in and
123
00:08:21,120 –> 00:08:25,279
that was terrible, unbelievable. Then this is a man who’s
124
00:08:25,319 –> 00:08:32,360
got no standing. He’s been disbarred on other matters unrelated,
125
00:08:33,159 –> 00:08:36,000
and he was allowed to talk as though he were
126
00:08:36,080 –> 00:08:39,759
George Washington. But he’s not George Washington. He shouldn’t have
127
00:08:39,799 –> 00:08:43,480
been allowed. The Southern District did a book of approximately
128
00:08:43,559 –> 00:08:47,840
twenty eight pages where they I’ve never seen anything like it.
129
00:08:47,840 –> 00:08:51,279
They excoriated if you wouldn’t let it be put into evidence.
130
00:08:51,720 –> 00:08:55,039
So he was able to testify as a witness, and
131
00:08:55,080 –> 00:08:58,120
I think it’s a disgrace through the system. I was
132
00:08:58,200 –> 00:09:00,759
under a gaggod. I’m the first president in history that
133
00:09:00,879 –> 00:09:02,879
was under a gear goorder where I couldn’t talk about
134
00:09:03,000 –> 00:09:05,120
aspects of the case that are very important. I guess
135
00:09:05,120 –> 00:09:07,919
I’m still under so probably I won’t do it now.
136
00:09:08,440 –> 00:09:11,399
I assume I’m still under a gear order, But the
137
00:09:11,480 –> 00:09:16,720
fact is that I am totally innocent. I did nothing wrong.
138
00:09:17,440 –> 00:09:20,600
They talked about business records, and the business records were
139
00:09:21,240 –> 00:09:23,960
extremely accurately counted. I had nothing to do with them.
140
00:09:23,960 –> 00:09:25,840
Any of that was done by an accountant or a
141
00:09:25,879 –> 00:09:29,919
bookkeeper who I think a very credible testimony and was
142
00:09:29,960 –> 00:09:36,440
corroborated by everybody that was asked. And with all that’s
143
00:09:36,480 –> 00:09:39,840
happening in our country today, with a city that’s burning
144
00:09:39,879 –> 00:09:42,799
to the ground, one of our largest, most important cities
145
00:09:42,840 –> 00:09:47,440
burning to the ground, with wars that are uncontrollably going on,
146
00:09:47,639 –> 00:09:53,840
with all of the problems of inflation and attacks on countries,
147
00:09:53,960 –> 00:09:56,159
and all of the horrible things that are going on,
148
00:09:56,720 –> 00:10:00,000
I got indicted over calling a legal expense illegal exce.
149
00:10:00,600 –> 00:10:04,240
It was called a legal expense. I just want to say,
150
00:10:04,320 –> 00:10:07,159
I think it’s an embarrassment to New York, and New
151
00:10:07,240 –> 00:10:09,120
York has a lot of problems, but this is a
152
00:10:09,120 –> 00:10:12,159
great embarrassment. I believe that this and other cases that
153
00:10:12,759 –> 00:10:16,120
were brought. As you know, the DOJ is very much
154
00:10:16,159 –> 00:10:19,759
involved in this case. It’s because that’s the political opponent
155
00:10:19,799 –> 00:10:23,960
they’re talking about. The DOJ is very involved. You have
156
00:10:24,000 –> 00:10:26,519
a gentleman sitting right there from the DOJ who was
157
00:10:26,559 –> 00:10:27,840
from the DOJ’s office.
158
00:10:27,840 –> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: He was also involved with the New.
159
00:10:29,159 –> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: York State Attorney General’s case, and he went from there
160
00:10:32,720 –> 00:10:35,000
to hear He went around and did what he had
161
00:10:35,000 –> 00:10:37,759
to do and got them to move on me. But
162
00:10:37,799 –> 00:10:41,559
in the meantime I won the election in a massive landslide.
163
00:10:42,159 –> 00:10:44,679
And the people of this country understand what’s gone on.
164
00:10:44,799 –> 00:10:47,960
This has been a weaponization of government. They call it lawfare.
165
00:10:48,480 –> 00:10:51,399
Never happened to any extent like this, but never happened
166
00:10:51,399 –> 00:10:55,399
in our country before. And I’d just like to exclaim
167
00:10:55,519 –> 00:10:58,559
that I was treated very, very unfairly, and I thank
168
00:10:58,600 –> 00:10:59,000
you very.
169
00:10:58,960 –> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: Much, Thank you, mister Trump. Mister Trump, you appear before
170
00:11:05,519 –> 00:11:09,399
this court today to conclude this criminal proceeding by the
171
00:11:09,399 –> 00:11:14,600
imposition of sentence. Although I have taken the unusual step
172
00:11:14,639 –> 00:11:19,799
of informing you in advance of my inclinations before imposing sentence,
173
00:11:19,799 –> 00:11:22,919
I believe it is important for you, as well as
174
00:11:22,919 –> 00:11:25,960
those observing these proceedings, to understand my reasoning for the
175
00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:32,000
sentence I am about to impose. The imposition of sentence
176
00:11:32,080 –> 00:11:35,720
is one of the most difficult and significant decisions that
177
00:11:35,919 –> 00:11:41,360
any criminal court judge is called upon to make. Our
178
00:11:41,480 –> 00:11:46,240
legislature sets the parameters for an authorize sentence, but it
179
00:11:46,320 –> 00:11:48,919
is a judge that must decide what constitutes a just
180
00:11:49,039 –> 00:11:54,120
conclusion to a verdict of guilty. A court is bested
181
00:11:54,159 –> 00:11:57,639
with broad discretion in determining what sources or evidence it
182
00:11:57,679 –> 00:12:03,159
may consider to arrive at an appropriate sentence. In doing so,
183
00:12:04,039 –> 00:12:07,720
the court must consider the facts of the case, along
184
00:12:07,840 –> 00:12:14,440
with any aggravating or mitigating circumstances. In my time on
185
00:12:14,480 –> 00:12:16,480
the bench, I’ve been called upon to grapple with this
186
00:12:16,519 –> 00:12:20,679
weighty responsibility for countless defendants who have been found guilty
187
00:12:20,759 –> 00:12:25,919
after trial for an assortment of offenses ranging from non
188
00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:31,039
violent classing felonies to the most heinous of crimes, including homicides,
189
00:12:31,840 –> 00:12:37,679
sex trafficking, and child sexual abuse. The task is always
190
00:12:37,759 –> 00:12:42,679
difficult and deserving of careful consideration, whether the sentence be
191
00:12:42,720 –> 00:12:48,960
an unconditional discharge or incarceration of twenty five years to life. However,
192
00:12:50,360 –> 00:12:52,759
never before has this court been presented with such a
193
00:12:52,879 –> 00:12:58,159
unique and remarkable set of circumstances. Indeed, it can be
194
00:12:58,240 –> 00:13:02,559
viewed fairly that this has been a truly extraordinary case.
195
00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:09,639
There was unprecedented media attention, public interest, and heightened security
196
00:13:09,679 –> 00:13:14,600
involving various agencies, And yet the trial was a bit
197
00:13:14,600 –> 00:13:17,600
of a paradox, because once the courtroom doors were closed,
198
00:13:18,759 –> 00:13:23,480
the trial itself was no more special, unique, more extraordinary
199
00:13:23,480 –> 00:13:26,000
than the other thirty two criminal trials that took place
200
00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:31,559
in this courthouse at the same exact time. Jury selection
201
00:13:31,720 –> 00:13:36,720
was conducted, the same rules of evidence were followed, opening
202
00:13:36,759 –> 00:13:42,559
statements were made, witnesses called and cross examined, evidence presented,
203
00:13:42,639 –> 00:13:46,360
somemations delivered, the same burden of proof was applied, and
204
00:13:46,399 –> 00:13:49,840
a jury made up of ordinary citizens delivered a verdict.
205
00:13:51,519 –> 00:13:53,759
And it was all conducted pursuant to the rules of
206
00:13:53,840 –> 00:14:00,320
procedure and guided by the law of course. Of what
207
00:14:00,399 –> 00:14:05,360
made it feel somewhat ordinary was the outstanding work, preparation,
208
00:14:06,080 –> 00:14:13,240
and professionalism of the clerks, court officers, court reporters, security personnel,
209
00:14:13,679 –> 00:14:15,960
and the entire staff of this building, who did their
210
00:14:16,039 –> 00:14:22,240
jobs as they would with any other criminal trial. So
211
00:14:22,279 –> 00:14:24,360
while one can argue that the trial itself was in
212
00:14:24,399 –> 00:14:28,840
many respects somewhat ordinary, the same cannot be said about
213
00:14:28,879 –> 00:14:33,080
the circumstances surrounding this sentence. And that is because of
214
00:14:33,080 –> 00:14:36,320
the office you’ve once occupied and which you will soon
215
00:14:36,360 –> 00:14:42,279
occupy again, to be sure, it is the legal protections
216
00:14:42,279 –> 00:14:45,360
afforded to the office of the President of the United
217
00:14:45,360 –> 00:14:50,600
States that are extraordinary, not the occupant of the office.
218
00:14:52,279 –> 00:14:56,799
The legal protections, especially within the context of a criminal prosecution,
219
00:14:57,759 –> 00:14:59,919
afforded to the office of the President, have been laid
220
00:15:00,080 –> 00:15:05,240
out by our founders, the Constitution, and most recently interpreted
221
00:15:05,279 –> 00:15:08,120
by the United States Supreme Court in the matter of
222
00:15:08,120 –> 00:15:12,080
Trump versus the United States, which was decided on July first,
223
00:15:12,440 –> 00:15:23,080
twenty twenty four. As with every other defendant in your position,
224
00:15:23,759 –> 00:15:27,559
it is my obligation to consider any and all aggravating
225
00:15:27,600 –> 00:15:32,200
and mitigating factors to inform my decision. Some of those
226
00:15:32,240 –> 00:15:36,120
aggravating factors have already been articulated in my Sandoval ruling
227
00:15:36,159 –> 00:15:39,000
at the start of this trial, and by my recent
228
00:15:39,000 –> 00:15:44,120
written decisions on December sixteenth and January third. Thus they
229
00:15:44,600 –> 00:15:50,399
need not be repeated at this time. However, the considerable,
230
00:15:51,159 –> 00:15:55,840
indeed extraordinary, legal protections afforded by the office of the
231
00:15:55,919 –> 00:16:01,200
chief Chief executive is a factor that overrides all others.
232
00:16:02,720 –> 00:16:06,639
To be clear, the protections afforded the office of the
233
00:16:06,639 –> 00:16:12,679
President are not a mitigating factor. They do not reduce
234
00:16:12,720 –> 00:16:17,879
the seriousness of the crime or justify its commission in
235
00:16:17,960 –> 00:16:24,519
any way. The protections are, however, a legal mandate which
236
00:16:24,559 –> 00:16:28,720
pursue into the rule of law. This Court must respect
237
00:16:28,879 –> 00:16:35,960
and follow. However, despite the extraordinary breath of those protections,
238
00:16:36,960 –> 00:16:39,159
one power they do not provide is the power to
239
00:16:39,240 –> 00:16:43,720
erase that jury verdict. It is clear from legal president,
240
00:16:44,879 –> 00:16:49,159
which until July first, was scarce, that Donald Trump, the
241
00:16:49,279 –> 00:16:54,840
ordinary citizen, Donald Trump, a criminal defendant, would not be
242
00:16:55,039 –> 00:17:00,320
entitled to such considerable protections. I’m referring to protections that
243
00:17:00,360 –> 00:17:04,240
extend well beyond those whofford the average defendant who winds
244
00:17:04,279 –> 00:17:08,480
their way through the criminal justice system each day. No
245
00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:14,720
ordinary citizens do not receive those legal protections. It is
246
00:17:14,759 –> 00:17:17,720
the office of the President that bestows those far reaching
247
00:17:17,759 –> 00:17:22,440
protections to the office holder, and it was the citizenry
248
00:17:22,519 –> 00:17:26,480
of this nation that recently decided that you should once
249
00:17:26,519 –> 00:17:31,200
again receive the benefits of those protections, which include, among
250
00:17:31,319 –> 00:17:37,759
other things, the supremacy claus and presidential immunity. It is
251
00:17:37,799 –> 00:17:43,960
through that lens and that reality that this Court must
252
00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:51,279
determine a lawful sentence after careful analysis, in obedience to
253
00:17:51,319 –> 00:17:55,920
governing mandates, and pursue into the rule of law, this
254
00:17:56,079 –> 00:18:00,880
Court has determined that the only lawful sentence that permits
255
00:18:01,079 –> 00:18:05,079
entry of a judgment of conviction without encroaching upon the
256
00:18:05,160 –> 00:18:10,519
highest office in the land is an unconditional discharge, which
257
00:18:10,519 –> 00:18:14,160
the New York State Legislature has determined is a lawful
258
00:18:14,680 –> 00:18:18,599
and permissible sentence for the crime of falsifying business records
259
00:18:18,599 –> 00:18:24,480
in the first degree. Therefore, at this time I impose
260
00:18:24,559 –> 00:18:28,920
that sentence to cover all thirty four accounts. Sir, I
261
00:18:28,920 –> 00:18:31,880
wish you got speed as you assume your second terminal office.
262
00:18:32,119 –> 00:18:32,559
Speaker 3: Thank you.
263
