<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> is getting interviewed by a probation officer on Monday as part of the process leading up to sentencing after a jury returned a guilty verdict in his New York hush money trial.</p>
<p>Sources told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/09/nyregion/trump-probation-officer-hush-money-verdict.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> the discussion would be conducted virtually while Trump is at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and one of his lawyers, Todd Blanche, would be present. The probation officer may collect information about Trump&#8217;s personal history and criminal record for a report that the judge, who in this case is Juan Merchan, can use to help decide a punishment.</p>
<p>&#8220;The pre-sentence report is a chance for the defendant’s lawyer to say good things about the defendant, like that the defendant is in a counseling program or has a steady job and takes care of an ailing family member,&#8221; says the <a href="https://www.nycourts.gov/courthelp/criminal/preSentenceReport.shtml#:~:text=The%20probation%20officer%20may%20talk,report%20makes%20recommendations%20for%20sentencing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York court system&#8217;s website</a>. &#8220;The pre-sentence interview is a chance for the defendant to try to make a good impression and explain why he or she deserves a lighter punishment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jurors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/verdict-trump-found-guilty-on-all-charges-in-hush-money-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> Trump last month on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up a tryst with adult film star Stormy Daniels as part of a &#8220;catch-and-kill&#8221; scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election. Trump, who denied the affair and pleaded not guilty to the charges, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-guilty-verdict-trial-05-31-24/h_5f39d02456672b825a69b106df7ed682" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowed</a> to appeal.</p>

<p>Merchan scheduled sentencing for July 11, just days before Trump is expected to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rnc-preparing-for-possibility-of-trump-being-in-jail-during-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receive</a> the GOP&#8217;s presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention. Legal experts <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/29/trump-if-convicted-hush-money-trial-new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">doubt</a> the 77-year-old Trump will end up behind bars, though the Secret Service has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-prepares-for-possibility-of-trump-going-to-jail-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> coordinated with local jail officials just in case. Possible alternatives to imprisonment include probation or community service.</p>
<p>&#8220;President Trump and his legal team are already taking necessary steps to challenge and defeat the lawless Manhattan DA case,&#8221; Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-probation-interview-hush-money-ff76617722766fb305d32d84a2bf3600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement over the weekend, referring to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.</p>
<p>Three other criminal cases on the state and federal levels hang over Trump as he seeks a second White House term, prompting the former president to say he is the victim of a politically motivated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-accuses-democrats-of-running-a-gestapo-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;witch hunt.&#8221;</a> It is unclear whether any of those cases will reach the trial stage before the November contest.</p>
