Donald Trump’s mandatory pre-sentencing interview has ended after less than half an hour of routine and uneventful questions and answers, a person familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.

The former US president was quizzed by a New York City probation officer for a report that will be compiled and presented to trial judge Juan M Merchan prior to Trump’s July 11 sentencing in his hush money criminal case.
