Donald Trump received a no-penalty sentence in his hush money case – less than two weeks before his inauguration. On Friday morning, New York judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge on all thirty four counts of falsifying business records. Unconditional discharge means that Trump won’t face penalties, such as jail time or fines. However, the sentencing means he is now considered a convicted felon, and will become the first U.S. president to take office with a felony conviction on his record.
Mandy Moore is clapping back social media users who have criticized her for asking for donations for some of her relatives. The actress shared a GoFundMe page raising money for her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff and Kitt Goldsmith, who lost their home in the Los Angeles wildfires. “People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic. Of course we are,” Moore writes in the caption. “We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. no one is forcing you to do anything.”
