Former President Donald Trump is scheduled for a probation interview Monday, a standard part of the sentencing process for those convicted in New York state court.
The interview, aimed at influencing his upcoming sentencing in July, will take place later today.
NBC News has more on the virtual hearing:
The pre-sentencing probation interview will be done over a special virtual network with added security measures, and the interviewer will be a female, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. The call is not expected to be held over Zoom, those sources added.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was convicted last month on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the historic case. The probation interview is required by the court as part of the former president’s pre-sentencing report.
Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the hush money case, permitted Blanche to be present for the probation interview after prosecutors did not object. The Trump defense team is scheduled to submit their sentencing recommendation on June 13.
The former president is scheduled to be sentenced for all 34 felony counts in New York on July 11, days before the Republican National Convention begins.
Trump will conduct the interview from Mar-a-Lago in Florida with Blanche by his side.
The probation officer will record Trump’s lack of criminal history, employment record, current financial status and observations regarding his “physical and mental condition,” all of which Merchan will consider in his sentencing.
