Ten days after being found guilty of 34 felony counts, convicted criminal Donald Trump will meet with his New York probation officer via teleconference for a mandatory pre-sentencing hearing, NBC News reports, the first step the felon will have to do before his July 11th sentencing hearing.
Trump will be on a secured video feed, not through a commercial carrier like Google or Zoom, likely to prevent people from tapping into his phone system as they watch the former president answer questions from his probation officer, reportedly a female officer. During the interview, the officer will make a general assessment of the convict’s mental health as well as any physical or addiction issues that could impact sentencing.
She will also get information about Trump’s social media use, past criminal activity and current legal situation. In addition, she will collect a list of Trump’s friends and associates, including those with their own criminal and legal problems; a condition of Trump’s sentence or probation will be that he cannot associate with known criminals, which would include his co-defendants in other cases.
