legal experts noted that holding a probation interview over a video conference call is unusual but having the former president in a New York probation would also be unprecedented.
More kid gloved special treatment for Trump.
Trump could also be asked if he is associating with anyone with a criminal record because he cannot associate with them if he is placed on probation,
LOL, Trump has been surrounded by criminals for ages.
Trump could also be asked if he is associating with anyone with a criminal record because he cannot associate with them if he is placed on probation,
“Does it count if I pardoned them?”
I don’t want probation I want Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump to be held accountable for his crimes. Michael Cohen got 3 years in prison for the same crime and unlike Treason Trump he was remorseful and respectful.
Well, I don’t know how "respectful” he was, but he did show acts of contrition. And he certainly did behave himself in court as a witness.
From the article:
The probation interview is required by the court as part of the former president’s pre-sentencing report.
@[email protected] also had a good quote from the article providing more info as well.
The name “probation interview” is a poor one. Sentencing hasn’t happened yet and this interview is standard operating procedure to collect relevant information about the convicted party so that the judge can make an informed decision during sentencing.
That’s incorrect. The charges were different, and a few of Cohen’s were more severe (higher class felonies).
Cohen pleaded guilty to 5 counts of tax evasion, one count of making false statements to a federally insured bank, one count of causing an unlawful corporate contribution, and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution.
Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Horn noted that the typical purpose of a probation interview is to obtain information on Trump’s social and criminal history, financial resources, history of mental health, physical or addiction issues as well as to assess his living situation.

It will soon be a new requirement for Republican candidates everywhere
After? Here I thought the content of that interview (among other things) was supposed to be used by the judge to determine sentencing.
After the conviction, but naturally before sentencing.
I can be VERY presidential!
