Radio personality Charlamagne tha God criticized former President Donald Trump's recent sentencing in a New York case, labeling it "pure political theater" and a futile exercise. Trump received an unconditional discharge after being found guilty of falsifying business records, a charge stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation. This verdict marks Trump as the first U.S. president with a felony conviction, though the sentence carries no fines or jail time and allows for an appeal.

During Monday's episode of "The Breakfast Club," Charlamagne expressed his disdain for the proceedings, deeming them a waste of time and politically motivated. He questioned the value of the conviction, given Trump's continued political influence. He also criticized those who celebrated the outcome, arguing that it held little significance.

Co-host DJ Envy raised concerns about the financial burden of the trial on New York taxpayers, citing estimated costs of $50,000 per day and a total exceeding $2 million. Charlamagne echoed these concerns, questioning the motives of prosecutors involved in the various legal actions against Trump.

Prior to the sentencing, Trump himself denounced the case as a politically driven "witch hunt" detrimental to New York's legal system. He had previously pleaded not guilty to the 34 felony counts, criticizing the trial as rigged and unfair. Trump's appeal to the Supreme Court to halt the sentencing was denied. Earlier, the court affirmed presidential immunity for actions taken in an official capacity.
