Russell Taylor was invited by a former congressman to attend the inauguration after being accused of organizing a group of “fighters” to travel to D.C. for Jan. 6, 2021.

The president-elect may appear either virtually or in person, the judge says.

He will be sentenced on Jan. 10, shortly before his inauguration, but is unlikely to face jail time or other penalties.

Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump's motion to dismiss the case against him, and said he could appear in person or remotely for the sentencing.

Donald Trump was found guilty in May of falsifying business records to conceal a payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

Judge Juan Merchan indicated that he’d sentence Trump to what’s known as a conditional discharge, in which a case gets dismissed if a defendant avoids rearrest.

The judge in the New York hush money case of President-elect Trump denied Trump's motion to dismiss the case. The judge signaled he will not order Trump jailed following his conviction on low-level felony charges of falsifying business records.

New York Judge Juan Mercan decided to proceed with sentencing President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records while previewing that he will execute an ‘unconditional discharge’ and impose no penalties against Trump.

A judge has ordered that President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on 10 January in his hush-money case in New York - less than two weeks before he is set to be sworn in as president. Judge Juan Merchan said he would not sentence Trump to any jail time and the president-elect could appear in person or virtually for the hearing.
