President-elect Trump's bid to toss his conviction in his New York criminal hush money case was denied on Friday. 

New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump's request to vacate the verdict in the case based on the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision.

President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on 34 counts of falsifying business records ahead of his swearing-in Jan. 20 but is not expected to face jail time, a judge ruled Friday.

The decision to uphold Trump’s conviction and schedule the sentencing for Jan. 10 almost certainly means Trump will be the first felon to serve as a U.S. president.

New York’s highest court court declined Tuesday to hear former President Donald Trump’s appeal to the gag order in his Manhattan case, despite the fact that Trump was convicted weeks ago.

The New York Court of Appeals wrote it would not hear the appeal because “no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.” Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts for falsifying business records in the case brought by Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Social media posts seeking to discredit the judge who presided over former President Donald Trump’s criminal case in New York have been circulating online. Contrary to a popular meme, the judge’s wife works for a Republican district attorney, not the Democratic state attorney general, and his daughter was not personally paid by a high-profile Democrat.

Donald Trump, the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime, will remain a free man while he awaits sentencing and could avoid a prison term entirely for falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star.

Here is a look at what’s next for the Republican candidate for president against Democratic President Joe Biden in a Nov. 5 election.

The judge presiding over the case, Juan Merchan, must first approve the verdict and enter a final judgment, though this is typically a formality.

Guilty, guilty, guilty. Donald Trump has been found guilty as charged. Honestly, did anyone really think otherwise?

In the first-ever criminal trial of a former president, a New York jury of seven men and five women took roughly 9½ hours to find Trump guilty on 34 counts of cooking the books of his real estate company. His reason for illegally falsifying business records was to hide a hush money payment that kept his sexual encounter with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels from being revealed before the 2016 election.

If Donald Trump is held in contempt of court again, the New York City Department of Corrections will "be ready" for his incarceration, according to Mayor Eric Adams. In the former president's Manhattan criminal trial, Judge Juan Merchan has ordered Trump to pay a total of $10,000 for repeatedly violating a gag order that forbade him from publicly discussing witnesses and jurors in the case. Following Tuesday's bombshell testimony from former adult film actress Stormy Daniels , some have questioned whether Trump, 77, might violate the order yet again and...

Barron Trump's post-graduation festivities may be missing an important person, as his father, Donald Trump, prepares to headline a fundraiser in Minnesota that same day. On Monday, May 6, the Minnesota Republican Party announced that the former president, 77, will headline its annual Lincoln Reagan dinner. The GOP fundraiser, held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is scheduled to take place hours after Barron's high school graduation in West Palm Beach, Florida. Donald previously petitioned the Manhattan criminal court to pause his "hush money" trial on May 17 so that he could...
