What Donald Trump’s unconditional discharge means

President-elect Donald Trump received an unconditional discharge Friday in the Manhattan “hush money” case related to his 2016 presidential bid.

The sentencing, which releases him from punishment, comes just 10 days before his inauguration as the 47th President.

But what does the sentence actually mean for Trump, and how does it affect him moving forward?

What is an unconditional discharge?

Donald Trump received a criminal sentence on Friday of unconditional discharge.

An unconditional discharge is a legal term that means a person was convicted of a crime but won’t face any penalties like incarceration or probation.

It is exactly what it says it is: a discharge from punishment without any conditions such as probation or monitoring.

The conviction remains on their record, but he has no legal obligations related to the case.

For Trump, it means the 34 felony convictions stay on his criminal record. It won’t affect his presidency, though, and his legal team has already made clear they’ll appeal the conviction.
