Trump Asks Supreme Court to Halt Sentencing in Hush Money Case
President-elect Donald Trump seeks Supreme Court intervention to postpone his New York sentencing on hush money charges.
Overview
President-elect Donald Trump has requested the Supreme Court to stay his upcoming sentencing in a hush money case, arguing that presidential immunity applies. After New York courts denied a delay, Trump's legal team claims that the sentencing would hinder his ability to assume office. Judge Juan Merchan has stated there will be no jail time, but Trump's felony conviction could have significant repercussions. The Supreme Court has requested a prosecutor's response, and Trump's arguments reference previous rulings on presidential immunity from prosecution.
