Trump probation interview set for Monday after hush money conviction
SUMMARY
Former President Trump, convicted on 34 felony counts in a hush money trial, is set to undergo a virtual probation interview from Mar-a-Lago. His attorney, Todd Blanche, will accompany him. The interview, required for Trump's pre-sentencing report, will be overseen by Judge Juan Merchan. Trump faces sentencing on July 11th. Legal experts note the unusual nature of a probation interview via video call but acknowledge the disruption Trump's physical presence in New York would cause. The interview aims to assess Trump's background, living situation, and potential associations. While some argue for jail time, others cite factors like Trump's age and lack of criminal record as mitigating factors.
