Donald Trump gloated on social media after successfully avoiding jail time for his felony convictions.
New York justice Juan Merchan granted the president-elect an unconditional discharge for his 34 convictions by a jury for falsifying business records, making clear the sentence would have been more severe if he had not been re-elected to a second term, but Trump raged against the prosecution after the virtual hearing.
"The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt," Trump posted on Truth Social.
