Judge Juan Merchan indicated Friday that he intends to sentence Donald Trump to an "unconditional discharge" out of respect for the presidential immunity doctrine.

Trump was found guilty this past May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump faces the possibility of up to four years in prison.
