The interview is part of the legal process in which a jury in New York found Trump guilty of 36 charges. They were related to the illegal hiding of “cheat money” in Trump’s company’s accounting.
A porn star was paid with the prank money Stormy Daniels and two other parties to remain silent on allegations that were feared to jeopardize Trump’s 2016 election success.
The allegations concerned extramarital sex and an alleged illegitimate child.
A parole officer must interview the person found guilty and give his own statement to the judge who decides on the sentence.
Several US media and the experts they interviewed remind us that the parole officer’s statement is usually influenced by whether the person found guilty shows remorse.
Trump has denied the charges and plans to appeal the sentence, as long as the judge on July 11 hands it down.
News agency APAccording to an anonymous source interviewed by , the routine interview lasted less than half an hour.
Trump had his lawyer by his side and the parole officer’s boss attended the event. In routine cases, the convict often only meets the parole officer alone.

MondayNA also the President of the United States Joe Biden of a boy Hunter Biden the trial progressed as the prosecution and defense filed their closing statements and the jury retired to deliberate on their decision.
Hunter Biden is accused of providing false information in connection with the arms sale in October 2018.
Biden is said to have claimed on the form that he does not use drugs. He himself later told, for example in his memoirs that he was addicted to crack at the time and that he drank too much alcohol.
The defense has relied on the fact that even though Hunter Biden used crack before and after October 2018, he was sometimes in rehabilitation.
According to the defense, the prosecution presented no evidence that Hunter Biden used drugs during the eleven days he owned the gun.
In theory, Hunter Biden could receive up to 25 years in prison for the three related charges.
In practice, giving false information about drug use when buying a gun often results in a first-time offender being fined or given a suspended sentence, as well as mandatory participation in training to prevent future crimes.
Mother of Hunter Biden and spouse of President Biden Jill Biden has sat in the front row during the trial, as have many others close to Biden.
Jill and Joe Biden say they are proud of the kind of man their son has become after he got rid of his addiction.
At the same time, President Biden has reminded that he will not interfere with the judicial system and will not pardon his son if he is found guilty.
Trump’s and Hunter Biden’s trials may also affect the outcome of the presidential election.
Trump seems to have suffered a little from the jury’s decision, because in the latest opinion polls, Joe Biden has caught up to Trump’s lead.
Real Clear Polling election website in the average of the recent polls calculated, Trump is leading by only half a percentage point. Fivethirtyeight election website gives him a lead of one percentage point.
The difference fits within the polls’ margin of error.
Trump’s and Hunter Biden’s lawsuits will remain in the headlines until the election.
Trump also faces charges of attempts to overturn the result of the presidential election won by Biden and of illegal handling of secret documents.
Hunter Biden is also facing charges of tax fraud.
These charges probably won’t have time to be processed before the election is over.
