Trigger Warning: This article contains mentions of s*xual abuse and violence.  Sean “Diddy” Combs didn’t just assault ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura but also her friend Kerry Morgan, according to her testimony on week 2 of his s*x trafficking federal trial. She took the stand on Monday and revealed that he choked her and hit her with a hanger in the R&B singer’s Hollywood Hills, Calif., home in 2018. To ensure her silence, he then paid her USD 30,000. “Cassie and I were listening to her music. She got up to go to the bathroom… He had come in; I guess he had a key, and she didn’t know,” Morgan, 39, said in the court, according to Page Six. “I was in the living room, and he came up from behind me and choked me. When I got up, he boomeranged a hanger at my head.” Morgan also revealed that Diddy demanded to know “who Ventura was cheating on him with.” She recalled thinking, “He’s going crazy.

Donald Trump sentenced in hush money case but escapes jail and penalty – India TV

Image Source : AP/FILE PHOTO President-elect Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago. Former President Donald Trump was formally sentenced Friday in his high-profile hush money case, with Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan declining to impose any punishment despite Trump’s conviction on all 34 felony charges. The ruling allows Trump an unconditional release, allowing him to resume his political career without the threat of imprisonment or fines. The sentencing ends a bizarre legal battle that lasted nearly two months, during which sordid details of Trump’s alleged efforts to conceal charges were publicly released Despite legal challenges, case had no negative impact on the political fortunes of Trump, who was elected to a second term. While the conviction could have resulted in a four-year prison sentence for the 78-year-old Republican, Judge Merchan’s decision to end the case upon his release is unconditional to avoid potential conflicts of law. Publicly, it makes Trump the first felon to be convicted since taking office, underscoring the unprecedented nature of the case. The decision has sparked …

Trump to be sentenced on Friday in hush money case, US Supreme Court declines to delay sentencing | World News

In a setback for US President-elect Donald Trump, the US Supreme Court has rejected his plea to delay his sentencing in a New York state court for conviction on criminal charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 judgement denied Trump’s last minute attempt to prevent the sentencing in the hush money case, scheduled for Friday at 9:30 am (Eastern Time) in Manhattan’s New York state court. The order by the Supreme Court read, “First, the alleged evidentiary violations at president-elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the president-elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court’s stated intent to impose a sentence of ‘unconditional discharge’ after a brief virtual hearing,” reported Reuters. However, the trial judge Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Trump’s hush money case said last week that he was not inclined to imprison the president-elect but rather grant him unconditional discharge. Justice Merchan’s judgement could place a …

Trump set for sentencing over hush money case, Judge suggests no jail time | World News

Donald Trump is set to be sentenced on January 10 for his hush-money case in New York, just before his anticipated inauguration as president. This comes after Trump failed to have his conviction overturned, with the judge signaling that he won’t face prison time. Justice Juan Merchan has indicated that Trump is unlikely to face jail time, probation, or a fine. Instead, the judge is expected to grant a “conditional discharge,” meaning Trump could avoid serious penalties. Trump may attend the sentencing either in person or virtually, as reported by BBC.  The case stems from a $130,000 (£105,000) payment made by Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign to prevent her from speaking out about an alleged affair with Trump. Trump was convicted in May of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records connected to the payment. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing, arguing the case is politically motivated and aimed at damaging his 2024 presidential bid. His spokesperson, Steven Cheung, condemned the legal proceedings as a …

Trump’s lawyers say hush money case must be dismissed after election victory | News Today News

Trump’s lawyers say hush money case must be dismissed after election victory | News Today News

Donald Trump’s lawyers told a judge that the Republican’s conviction for illegally covering up hush money payments to a porn star should be dismissed because he won the U.S. presidential election and sentencing would threaten government stability. In a letter filed on Tuesday and made public Wednesday, the Republican president-elect’s lawyers asked New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for permission to file a formal motion laying out their arguments by Dec. 20. “Just as a sitting president is immune from any criminal process, so too is President Trump as President-elect,” the lawyers wrote. Trump, 78, had been scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 26, but Merchan last week put all proceedings in the case on pause at the request of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office. Bragg’s office has said it will oppose Trump’s bid to dismiss the case and suggested it should be paused until Trump completes his four-year presidential term beginning on Jan. 20, though it stopped short of explicitly endorsing that option. Trump, president from 2017-2021, is hoping to enter …

Court postpones Donald Trump’s sentence in hush money case until after Presidential elections – India TV

Image Source : AP Former US President Donald Trump A Manhattan judge has agreed to postpone Donald Trump’s sentencing in the hush money case until after the presidential election scheduled for November. Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is also considering a defence request to overturn the verdict on immunity grounds, has rescheduled Trump’s sentencing to November 26, several weeks after the final votes are cast. The sentencing had initially been set for September 18, just ahead of the election. Trump’s legal team argued that proceeding with the sentencing in the midst of his presidential campaign would constitute election interference. They contended that delaying the sentencing until after the election would allow Trump time to assess his next steps, particularly in light of Merchan’s forthcoming decision on whether to reverse the conviction based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s July ruling on presidential immunity. Earlier on August 29, Trump asked a federal court to intervene in the case, where he was convicted of all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payment to an …
