The former president was convicted last month on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the hush money case against him.

Former President Trump is scheduled to sit for a virtual interview on Monday with a New York City probation officer from his home at Mar-a-Lago with his attorney Todd Blanche at his side after he was found guilty on all counts in the hush money trial against him last month, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The pre-sentencing probation interview will be done over a special virtual network with added security measures, and the interviewer will be a female, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. The call is not expected to be held over Zoom, those sources added.

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was convicted last month on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the historic case. The probation interview is required by the court as part of the former president’s pre-sentencing report.

Why is the gender of the interviewer important to mention?

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Because he's been known to dismiss women and get really angry at any who have any power over him.

Honest answer is probably because no one knows shit about fuck so they are reporting anything and everything they can. If they had more, they’d probably report it

well, he is a convicted rapist as well, so there's that.

They're just stating everything they know, which is very little.

Why is the news media calling this a hush money trial and conviction? It was simple campaign interference, the hush money was just one part of the interference.
