A New York judge has ruled in the Trump Organization's financial fraud case, sending US President-elect Donald Trump to an unconditional discharge, making Trump the first US president to hold office with a felony conviction.

Under U.S. law, a criminal record does not prevent citizens from running for or holding the presidency. The U.S. Constitution does not contain provisions that would prohibit people with a criminal record from running for office. However, this event was unprecedented for the country, as no U.S. leader had previously held the highest office after being convicted of a felony.

The Trump Organization case has drawn intense scrutiny both inside and outside the United States. Trump was accused of falsifying the company's financial records, which prosecutors say was used to obtain tax and financial benefits. The court found him guilty but gave him an unconditional discharge, which effectively means he will not face jail time or additional penalties.

Trump himself has repeatedly denied all the charges, calling the case politically motivated and aimed at discrediting his political career. In his statements, he emphasized that the investigation was part of a "witch hunt" that began during his first presidential term. His supporters also view the case as an attempt to prevent Trump from returning to the White House.

Experts note that this court decision may affect the political situation in the United States. On the one hand, Trump's supporters see this as confirmation of his status as a "victim of political persecution," which can only strengthen their support. On the other hand, his opponents use this case as an argument against his return to the highest office in the country.
