That's a class E felony punishable by a fine, probation or up to four years in prison per count. CNBC's Dan Mangan breaks down the different legal scenarios the former president could find himself in when he receives his sentencing on July 11.

Justice Juan Merchan indicated that a harsher penalty might have been appropriate for Allen Weisselberg, Trump Organization’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO). He ended up with a five-month jail sentence due to a plea agreement. This sets a cautionary precedent for what might happen to Donald Trump, who faces more severe corruption charges.

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

In the increasingly contested politics of immigration, an intention to “keep criminals out” seems like a rare point of consensus. It’s been a cornerstone of migration regulation around the world for almost as long as such regulation has existed. 

Examples abound. When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government sought to dismantle many of the previous Conservative government’s changes to Canadian immigration law, it left in place the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act. Even people whose lives are endangered and would otherwise be refugees are excluded from the refugee category for serious criminal acts. 

So how does Canadian law respond...

Donald Trump stands convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. That’s a class E felony. New York State sentencing guidelines say the punishment for committing a class E felony “shall be fixed by the court, and shall not exceed four years.”  If the convicted felon is not (as Trump is not) “a second or persistent felony offender,” then the judge “may impose a definite sentence of imprisonment and fix a term of one year or less.” The guidelines make no exception for former presidents. At Trump’s July 11 sentencing, Justice Juan M. Merchan should send Donald Trump to jail. I say...

Donald Trump may be happy that the gag order in his hush-money case has been partially lifted as he awaits sentencing, but it could backfire on him, one legal expert says. Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor, said Tuesday night that the gag order change “may and probably will come back to bite” the former president and convicted felon. It could even lead to prison time. Judge Juan Merchan altered the gag order Tuesday, allowing Trump to talk about the witnesses and jurors in the case. Trump is still barred from speaking about the prosecutors, court staff, and their families,...
