This statement was made during an interview with CNN&#8217;s Kaitlan Collins. Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s lawyer, Todd Blanche, strongly \u200copposes the idea of Trump receiving a jail sentence after being found guilty in a Manhattan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trumps-criminal-hush-money-trial-set-for-march-25\/\" title=\"Trump's hush money trial scheduled for March 25\">hush money trial<\/a>. \u2063Blanche stressed the unusual nature of such \u200da decision, asserting Trump&#8217;s exemption from imprisonment for the alleged charges.

But, if, other 77-year-old, first time offenders would never be sent to prison for this conduct.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The judge in the case, Judge Juan Merchan, announced that sentencing would occur July 11 at 10 a.m. after the jury handed down their verdict. It\u2019s unclear how severe a sentence he will give, though Merchan has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-guilty-former-presidents-lawyer-says-he-should-never-never-face-jail-time\/\" title=\"Former president's attorney insists Trump should never be sentenced to jail\">previously expressed hesitation<\/a> about sending the former president to jail. When Trump violated a gag order for the tenth time, the judge threatened to jail him for contempt, but then said, \u201cMr. Trump, it\u2019s important to understand that the last thing I want to do is to put you in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Merchan has also said he worries about the safety of those who would have to protect Trump, including Secret Service agents, if he were to go to jail.<\/p>\n<p>In the case, Trump was found guilty of repaying Michael Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment issued to Stormy Daniels, a porn star and director, to conceal their 2006 affair. He has three other ongoing cases, but this is the first time he\u2019s been found guilty of a crime. <\/p>\n<p>Blanche also addressed why Trump didn\u2019t take the stand, though he previously said he would. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a very personal question, to him and to me, honestly, and it\u2019s a very difficult question,\u201d Blanche said. \u201cOf course, he wanted to testify. And I don\u2019t say that because that\u2019s what he has said. He wanted to get his story out. I think the judge had made some decisions before the trial, on the day the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-democrats-will-work-on-covid-19-package-alongside-impeachment-trial\/\" title=\"Schumer: Democrats Will Work on COVID-19 Package Alongside Impeachment Trial\">trial started<\/a>, about what, what would be allowed to be asked of him by the prosecutors if he took the stand. And some of those questions were really complicated to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Blanche said, it was Trump\u2019s decision not to testify, though he told Collins that Trump came to that decision after listening to advice of counsel. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Trump&#8217;s lawyer Todd Blanche contends that Trump should avoid jail for the recent guilty verdict on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial.
