Judge Juan Merchan has set former President Trump’s sentencing for July 11 after he was found guilty on all 34 counts in his New York hush money trial.
Why it matters: Trump will be sentenced four days before the start of the Republican National Convention, where he is expected to be nominated to take on President Biden in November’s election.
Zoom in: Each of Trump’s felony charges carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison, but Merchan has broad latitude over Trump’s sentencing.
- Merchan could sentence Trump to probation or home detention instead of jail time.
