Former President Trump’s probation interview is set for Monday following his criminal conviction in his hush money case, according to a source familiar with the plans.
The interview is a standard part of the sentencing process for felony defendants convicted in New York state court. The probation officer will ultimately prepare a report to inform the judge’s sentencing decision.
Trump will sit for the interview virtually from Palm Beach, Fla., the source added.
The development was first reported by NBC News.
The interview comes less than two weeks after a New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment with an intent to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election. It marked the first criminal conviction of a former U.S. president, though Trump has vowed to appeal.
