Washington DC:  Donald Trump has become the first ever individual with a felony conviction to enter the White House, as a US court upheld his conviction in the hush money case. He has been sentenced to an 'unconditional discharge' for concealing undisclosed payments which were made to a porn star!

This means the President-elect has been caught guilty of the charges but will avoid jail time or any penalties due to his election as President of the US. He is all set to take office on January 20, a position which grants immunity from legal action while serving. Trump didn't attend the court session in person, but opted for a virtual appearance, fully aware that he would not face incarceration.

"This court has determined that the only lawful sentence that permits entry of a judgement of conviction without encroaching on the highest office of the land, is an unconditional discharge," said New York judge Juan Merchan while delivering the sentence.
