President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced to an ‘unconditional discharge’ on Friday ahead of his second term in office.
The development came nearly a year after he was convicted for falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star.
The verdict will mean no jail time, no probation and no fines for Trump — but places a judgment of guilt on his permanent record.
Trump however, called his conviction a ‘political witch-hunt’ and a ‘disgrace to the system’ as he appeared via video.

He also claimed that the case had been pursued to ‘damage his reputation’ and make him lose the US Presidential elections.
“This has been a very terrible experience. I think it’s been a tremendous setback for New York, the New York court system.
“This is a case that Alvin Bragg did not want to bring…from what I read and what I hear, inappropriately handled before he got there. I called a legal fee a legal expense and for this, I got indicted. It’s incredible, actually,” Trump said.
