The judge has yet to announce the sentence. Last year, prosecutors argued that Le Pen should face not only a €300,000 (£250,000) fine and a prison term but also a five-year ineligibility to hold public office. They recommended that this ineligibility should take effect immediately, rather than being suspended pending the appeal Le Pen is expected to file if convicted. However, judges could decide not to…

The order, which includes various changes such as extending mail-in ballot deadlines and modifying election equipment, could potentially disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans. Election law experts questioned Trump’s authority to make these changes, asserting that the order is highly likely to face legal challenges.
