A SENTENCING date for Donald Trump’s hush money sentence has been set 10 days before the president-elect’s inauguration.
Judge Juan Merchan issued the bombshell ruling on Friday, ordering Trump to appear for sentencing on January 10.

The president-elect’s legal team has been engaged in a months-long battle with Merchan to dismiss the case after the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling and his presidential election victory in November.
Meanwhile, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has also fired several motions, arguing against outright dismissing Trump’s conviction after a jury found him guilty on 34 felony charges in May 2024.
However, Merchan ultimately ruled against Trump’s efforts, saying he found “no legal impediment to sentencing” the president-elect.
The judge indicted Trump will not face jail time.
Trump’s presidential inauguration is scheduled for January 20.
