'Can't overstate the significance': Legal expert flags 'big deal' about Trump sentencing

Civil rights attorney Charles Coleman Jr. and others on MSNBC noted during Donald Trump's sentencing in New York on Friday that the incoming president will be the first in history to enter office as a convicted felon.

What he called a "big deal," however, is that Trump will score no punishment for his 34 felony counts.

"To give him an unconditional discharge as a convicted felon for a felony is a big deal and something that historically would have never happened to someone else," he said.
