Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

Ahead of his July 11 sentencing, Donald Trump on Monday reportedly faces another aspect of the system that other guilty criminal defendants have to go through as well. NBC News reported that that’s when Trump’s probation interview is taking place, though he has received the benefit of doing it remotely from Mar-a-Lago .
