Follow live updates and the latest news coverage as Trump attends his sentencing hearing with Judge Juan Merchan following jury conviction in his hush money case.

In a singular moment in US history, President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced for his hush-money conviction after the nation’s highest court refused to intervene.

With Trump 10 days from inauguration, Judge Juan M. Merchan has indicated he plans a no-penalty sentence called an unconditional discharge, and prosecutors aren't opposing it. That would mean no jail time, no probation and no fines would be imposed, but nothing is final until Friday's proceeding is done.

President-elect Donald Trump turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch effort to stop the sentencing, citing the conservative majority’s explosive immunity opinion.

President-elect Trump says he is 'totally innocent' during the sentencing hearing in his criminal case, calling the case an 'embarrassment' to New York.

"This has been a very terrible experience" and a "setback" for the New York court system, Trump told the judge overseeing his case minutes before his sentence was handed down. Trump was convicted May 30 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
