Trump to have pre-sentencing interview Monday after hush money conviction

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will meet with a probation official as part of court proceedings ahead of his sentencing in his secret trial in New York.

The virtual interview will take place on Monday, Steven Cheung, communications director for the Trump campaign, confirmed to Washington Examiner.

The interview will take place with a probation official over a secure virtual network, according to NBC News, and Trump will be accompanied by his lawyer, Todd Blanche, at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The interview is standard procedure after a person is convicted of a crime, which Trump did last month for 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Trump's defense team is expected to submit its sentencing recommendation on June 13, according to the outlet. The former president is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention.

The Trump campaign has directed its anger at President Joe Biden and Democrats over Trump's predicament in court, which they called a “witch hunt” maintaining the Republican nominee's innocence.

Cheung told Washington Examiner that Biden and his allies “continue to escalate their ongoing witch hunt, abusing and misusing the power of their offices to interfere in the presidential election.” President Trump and his legal team are already taking the necessary steps to challenge and defeat the Manhattan DA's lawless case. The American people will not fall for the Biden-led hoaxes and will hold Crooked Joe and his comrades accountable this fall.

Biden maintained his separation from Trump's hush money case in New York, brought by the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Trump also faces three other criminal trials, two in federal court (in South Florida and Washington, D.C.) and one in Georgia, although none of them are expected to go to court before the November presidential election.
