With Trump 10 days from inauguration, Judge Juan M. Merchan has indicated he plans a no-penalty sentence called an unconditional discharge, and prosecutors aren't opposing it. That would mean no jail time, no probation and no fines would be imposed, but nothing is final until Friday's proceeding is done.

After Donald Trump won reelection to the US presidency, prosecutors dropped two of the four prosecutions he’d faced during much of his campaign to return to the White House. Those were both federal cases.
