Trump attends virtual probation interview ahead of sentencing

Former President Donald Trump’s pre-sentencing interview with the New York probation office will take place virtually on Monday, a Trump source with knowledge of scheduling confirmed to CBS News. 

After becoming the first former president in ********* history convicted in a ********* trial, Trump on Monday will encounter another first: an interview with a probation officer.

For those who are convicted of ******* in Manhattan, the interviews are typically conducted in-person, in the same building where Trump’s trial was held. Those being interviewed are not always accompanied by their lawyers.

But Trump is no ordinary guilty party. The judge in his case, Juan Merchan, issued an order Friday granting Trump attorney Todd Blanche permission to attend the interview. It will be conducted Monday, remotely via video, according to a source with knowledge of the scheduling.

Trump will be at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. His probation officer will be in an office at Manhattan ********* Court.

The report compiled by the probation officer will include information about Trump’s *******, his personal history and ********* record. A unanimous jury found Trump guilty on May 30 of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a scheme to cover up reimbursements for a “hush money” payment to an ****** film star in 2016, part of an effort to prevent voters that year from hearing her story.

Trump has continued to deny the allegations, and vowed to appeal the conviction. The judge has wide leeway in sentencing and can pose a prison term of up to four years for each count, but can also impose a sentence that includes no incarceration at all: such as probation or house arrest. 

The report normally includes a recommendation for sentencing, as well as information from the defendant and his attorney designed to persuade the judge toward leniency.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has not said if his office will seek jail time in its own filing to the court.
