Trump Sentenced to Unconditional Release: 5 Things to Know Justice Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump to unconditional release on Jan. 10 for falsifying business records. Trump will not face any prison time or penalties.
Trump was found guilty by a Manhattan jury in May last year of falsifying business records related to payments made during the 2016 election campaign to a woman who claimed she had an affair with him about a decade earlier. He pleaded not guilty and categorically denied the affair allegations. Before the judge announced the sentence, the president-elect again declared his innocence. "I'm totally innocent. I did nothing wrong," he told the court and the judge.
The president-elect spoke during Friday's sentencing hearing appearing via a videoconference from Florida alongside his attorney, Todd Blanche. As Merchan delivered the sentence, Trump sat upright, lips pursed, and was frowning slightly. He tilted his head to the side as the judge wished him "Godspeed" in his second term in office.

Meta Abandons Diversity Policies Facebook parent company Meta is scrapping its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and practices with immediate effect, a spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times.
Meta is dropping DEI practices used in hiring, development, and procurement services, according to an internal memo by Janelle Gale, the company's vice president of human resources, which was posted on Meta's internal Workplace platform and obtained by Axios. A Meta spokesperson confirmed the accuracy of Axios' reporting on the memo and declined to share the document directly in response to a request from The Epoch Times.
Changes include revising hiring practices to eliminate diversity-focused targets, scaling back development programs designed to promote underrepresented groups, and adjusting procurement policies that previously prioritized vendors based on racial or gender criteria, according to the memo. "We continue to be focused on serving everyone, and building a multi-talented, industry-leading workforce from all walks of life," Gale wrote in the memo. (More) | |
Trump's China Tariffs For decades, China has used dumping, industrial subsidies, intellectual property theft, overcapacity, and other market-distorting practices to destroy American manufacturing and take over critical supply chains, says trade and national security expert Nazak Nikakhtar.
These practices—combined with the export of precursors for deadly fentanyl that's killing 200 to 300 Americans a day—give the incoming Trump administration legal justification to target the Chinese regime with a range of retaliatory tariffs, she says. A leading expert on trade and national security, Nikakhtar served in the first Trump administration as assistant secretary of commerce for industry and analysis. Critics of tariffs say that they will increase the prices of consumer goods, especially for the middle class. But Nikakhtar disagrees.
"What I found in 25 years experience doing trade with China is that Chinese companies tend to absorb tariffs," Nikakhtar told our colleague, Jan Jekielek. "It varies sector by sector, but up till high double-digit levels or triple-digit levels, they will actually absorb the tariffs." (Watch the full interview) How did you enjoy today's Morning Brief?
