Former President Donald Trump's interview with the New York probation
officer late today required of all convicted felons.
The officer will now write a report to the judge
who will sentence Trump in just weeks.
Here's our senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky tonight,
former President Donald Trump taking his next step as a
convicted criminal meeting for the first time with a probation
officer before he sentenced next month.
The purpose of this meeting,
which was conducted remotely Trumpet is Mar a Lago Estate,
is to help the officer prepare a report with a
sentencing recommendation for Judge Juan Rashawn.
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business
records to cover up a hush money payment to porn
star Stormy Daniels.
He has attacked the verdict and the judge over and
over.
I just went through a rigged trial in New York.
With a highly conflicted, and I mean highly conflicted judge
where there was no crime,
it was made-up, fabricated stuff.
No word on what Trump told the probation officer today,
but her report to the judge must include Trump's own
description of his crime,
whether he accepts responsibility, and anything he wants to say
about why he did it.
Unlike most convicts, Trump was allowed to have an attorney
with him for today's interview,
which is generally intended to provide the judge with a
more rounded picture of the person about to be sentenced,
including their personal, financial and professional history.
We're told this interview lasted just under 1/2 hour.
David, Judge Marshawn already knows plenty about Donald Trump,
whom he will sentence July 11th,
just one month from tomorrow.
David. Eric Turski tonight. Aaron,
thank you.
