President-elect Donald Trump was just sentenced to an unconditional discharge in the New York case against him,

meaning the conviction stands, but he will not face any penalties.

Also, the fires in Los Angeles are not just being deemed a natural disaster, they're also turning into a political disaster,

as blame falls in California's policies on DEI and on environmental regulations.

And in other news, with all the talk of Trump saying he wants to buy Greenland,

we've seen pushback from Denmark, which owns the country, saying it's not up for sale,

but now the government of Greenland itself is weighing in.

I'm the Epicitimes Senior Investigator

reporter Joshua Phillip, and you're listening to Crossroads.

President-elect Donald Trump was just given an unconditional discharge but was sentenced in New York.

Now, this would make Donald Trump the first president to be a felon when he enters office in 10 days.

Now, like the unconditional discharge sentence means that Trump faces no penalties

other than the felony conviction that is now entered on his record.

And Trump has been criticizing

the judge in this, that's Judge Juan Merchant's sentence, and he said this on Truth Social.

He said that result alone proves that, as all legal scholars and experts have said, there is no case.

There was never a case. And this whole scam fully deserves to be dismissed. Now Trump is expected to

appeal the conviction. He's saying that he will appeal it and he also spoke virtually in court

saying the case was a political witch hunt and that it was done to damage my reputation,

he said, so that I would lose the election, and obviously that did not work.

On that note, I would add, this may have been something that could backfire on some of these

individuals, because Trump has been talking about retribution, that he is the retribution of Americans
