Former president donald trump is scheduled for a virtual parole interview Monday after a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his “hush money” trial.

The former president will participate in the hearing from his home in Mar-a-Lago, according to multiple reports. The parole interview is a normal process for Trump’s pre-sentence report.

The interview will be conducted by a probation officer with Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, present and will be followed by a report given to the judge.
