You guys know that the official sentencing of former President Donald Trump will happen

in July, but we have some insight as to what's going on. Why

Stephanie Hostin of The View claims she knows somebody at the DA's office who's going to

recommend a year in prison for former President Trump. And that affects his case with Jack Smith, according to some legal experts

What the legal experts say is if you now have a convicted felon and he's going to be serving

time, well then the terms and conditions of his parole or probation, whatever he's on

while he waits for his trial with Jack Smith, well that might have to change now

The conditions of his release may have to change. Before he was released on his own recognizance, but now he's a convicted felon and what they're

saying is Jack Smith could actually ask to have him held in a prison, behind bars, until

such time as his case, which is probably not happening until after the election, is held

If the judge were to give him that, it would put Trump behind bars for the entire election

And if that is not the definition of lawfare, if that is not the definition of election

interference, well I don't know what is. Let's take a look and see what they have to say about it

There's a lot of information in this pre-sentencing report that actually could pertain to his

other legal issues that he's dealing with, from the civil ones here in New York, but

also the other criminal cases. Would that complicate anything? I mean, is that why Todd Blanche attended this today when normally an attorney would

not be present for it? Has to be. If I had a client who had three other pending indictments and several civil verdicts in

the process of appeal, I would absolutely insist on being there because what he says

can be used against him in certain circumstances. Another thing to keep your eye on here is now that Trump's been convicted, once he's

sentenced in New York, that could actually bump up his punishment if he's convicted in

the other cases, because those cases what you do is you calculate a person's criminal

history, now he has a criminal history. You're agreeing, Maggie. What impact do you think it could have

I think it could have all of the impacts that Ellie just described. I also think that it could end up being, and I'm not sure that this will happen because

it hasn't happened yet, but it could end up being a factor in whether prosecutors in any

of the other cases, and Ellie, correct me if I'm wrong, if they want to suggest that this impacts his release conditions on those indictments

Now, again, I don't think that's likely, but I do think that we have seen Jack Smith raise

concerns about his attacks on the FBI. Judge Cannon in that case, the Mar-a-Lago documents case, did not agree with them

It's just something, it's more grist that prosecutors can point to. And if he's not, if there's not jail as a result of this, I mean, even if he's checking

with a probation officer, that would be pretty remarkable in the humpstretch of the presidential campaign

Yeah, to have a curfew, I mean, sometimes, and to have a geographic restriction. I mean, the conditions of probation can differ quite a bit, but I do want to make this point

Even if Judge Mershawn sentences Trump to prison, and I think there's a decent chance he does, that sentence will almost certainly not be imposed until after appeal

I assume that he is going to defer the sentence until after, while the appeal is ongoing and

set aside. And then that likely gets us till after the election. And of course, we know Trump is going to appeal this

Ellie Honig, Maggie Haberman, great to have you both to start off the show. Thank you
