'Unusual' judge ruling 'took the arrows out of the quiver for Trump's team': legal expert

A ruling by New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan on Friday that he will hold a sentencing hearing for Donald Trump next week, while indicating there will be no jail time, is a blow to the president-elect's attorneys who wanted to see their client's hush money convictions tossed out entirely.

During an appearance on CNN on Saturday morning, former U.S. Attorney Michael Moore explained that what the judge is doing is "unusual" but makes sense should Trump's attorneys want to contest the ruling.
