New Delhi: America’s newly elected President Donald Trump is going to take oath on January 20. After winning the election last year, he will enter the White House in January. But just before this a big crisis has befallen them. His Republican Party is in shock due to this crisis. There is only one question in everyone’s mind that what will happen next. In fact, a judge has ordered that Donald Trump will be sentenced on January 10 in the case of his silence in New York. This order has come less than two weeks before he is to be sworn in as President.
According to the BBC report, New York Judge Juan Marchen indicated that he would not give Trump a jail sentence, probation or a fine. Rather they will be given “conditional release”. He also wrote in his order that the President-elect can appear for the hearing in person or virtually.

What is the stance of Trump’s team?
It is known that Trump had tried to use his victory in the presidential election to get the case against him dismissed. His team criticized the judge’s decision to proceed with the sentencing and said the “lawless” case should be dismissed “immediately.”
Trump was convicted in May of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The allegations were related to efforts to hide reimbursements to his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Who paid the adult-film star to remain silent about an alleged sexual relationship with Trump in the final days of the 2016 election campaign.
What does Trump say on the allegation?
Although Trump has denied all wrongdoing during his presidency and has pleaded not guilty, he argues that the case was an attempt to damage his 2024 presidential campaign. On Friday, a Trump spokesman criticized Judge Merchen’s sentencing order, saying it was part of a “witch hunt.”
Trump has been told many solutions
In his latest motion against the case, Trump had argued that the case would hang over his presidency and hamper his ability to govern. Justice Marchen said that he has been advised about a number of measures that he can adopt. This may ease Trump’s concerns about being distracted by a criminal case while serving as president. Their options included postponing sentencing until Trump, 78, leaves the White House in 2029 or guaranteeing a sentence that does not include jail time. Trump had initially, and unsuccessfully, argued that the case against him ran afoul of the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.
