Donald Trump's Nov. 26 sentencing in hush money case on hold as prosecution due to weigh in

If Trump ever faces a sentencing hearing, [Juan] Merchan has a wide set of options, including not imposing a sentence, ordering community service, or sending Trump to prison.

It's an open legal question, however, whether Merchan could impose restrictions that apply during Trump's presidency, or even in the few months before. No president-elect has been facing sentencing while approaching office, so courts have never ruled on what is permissible before.

Regardless, Trump's election victory is a major boon to him when it comes to his criminal cases. The Justice Department is weighing how to proceed with its two federal cases in light of the election. Justice Department policy states that a sitting president can't be criminally prosecuted under the Constitution.

Ah, Juan, take it for a spin. See what happens if you sentence Trump to prison now.
