The interview will be conducted via video conference from Mar-a-Lago, and Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, will be present.

This is unusual as convicts in New York usually meet with probation officials without their lawyers, but the judge, Juan Merchan, has allowed Blanche's presence.

A pre-sentencing probation interview is a process where a probation officer, social worker, or psychologist prepares a report for the judge to help determine an appropriate sentence for a defendant.

The report includes the defendant's personal history, criminal record, employment status, family obligations, and reasons for requesting leniency.

The interview may also involve speaking with the defendant's family, friends, and victims.

The goal is to provide the judge with comprehensive information to make an informed sentencing decision.

A jury found Donald Trump guilty of falsifying business records in connection to hush money payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign.

One payment of $130,000 was given to Stormy Daniels, who alleged a sexual encounter with Trump, which he denied.

Trump maintains his innocence and claims the criminal case is an attempt to harm his re-election bid.

Trump's campaign spokesman accused the Democratic Party of interfering in the election through these investigations.

President Trump's legal team is preparing to contest the Manhattan District Attorney's case against him.

The sentencing for Trump, scheduled for July 11, could result in punishments ranging from probation and community service to up to four years in prison.

The DA has the discretion to decide on the punishment.
