In an effort to set aside his recent conviction, Donald Trump's legal team has filed an appeal with a New York court. This appeal is a critical step as it coincides with his imminent presidential inauguration. Lawyers argue that the ruling against Trump should be dismissed, citing presidential immunity as a factor that should influence the case's outcome.
The hush money case involves a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels by Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, aimed at preventing Daniels from speaking out about an alleged affair. Trump has continually denied any wrongdoing, and the legality of the payment and subsequent business records have been called into question. The courtroom outcomes surrounding this matter hold potential implications for Trump's future political ambitions.
With sentencing set for just days before his inauguration, Trump seeks to avoid a ruling that could hinder his presidency. The judge’s perspectives highlight a reluctance to impose jail time, suggesting a possible sentence of unconditional discharge as a viable alternative. This scenario raises significant questions about the interplay between legal challenges and presidential responsibilities as Trump takes office.
In a pivotal development, President-elect Donald Trump has approached a New York appeals court, seeking to throw out his conviction linked to hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump’s legal team is aiming to dismiss the charges before his scheduled sentencing on Friday, a crucial date just ten days ahead of his inauguration on January 20. The urgency of this request underscores Trump’s strategy to navigate his legal woes while stepping into the presidential role. The legal battle centers around a $130,000 payment made by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels, which was intended to keep her silent about an alleged encounter with Trump. Despite Trump's denials of these allegations, the Manhattan jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying records, a verdict he is contesting. As he seeks to delay the sentencing, the New York judge overseeing the case has indicated a reluctance to impose jail time but noted that a judgment of guilt would remain on Trump's record. Trump's legal representatives argue that the notion of presidential immunity should weigh heavily on the court's decision. They emphasize the need for caution in sentencing before his inauguration, as they claim that rushing to judgment serves no purpose other than political maneuvering. The case continues to attract national attention, complicating the political landscape as Trump prepares for what many acknowledge will be a tumultuous presidency.I am so tired of the judges, bowing down to this orangutan is sickening. How do you have a rule of law in the United States of America and one man is breaking all the laws
Id HARDLY call that a trial. Kangaroo court is more like it! After Jan. 20th the REAL story will come out. Its NEVER how the trial begins, but how it ENDS, and this trial is FAR from over. There were so many laws broken or ignored as well as defendants rights ignored or stomped upon it will surely be an example in future legal-schools of what NOT to do, or how NOT to proceed as a judge nor as a state prosecuting attorneys office. Also, there was SO much BLATANT interference by the biden WH, its not even funny. Not one bit. This judge and ALL those responsible will be FRIED, in the near future. By not giving Trump any time, hes hoping that future prosecutors will take it easy on him, but NOPE! A CRIME is a CRIME! While NO crime was committed by Trump, Marchon and his daughter, BFAGG, as well as other interlopers committed MANY FEDERAL FELONIES! Itll be MORE than just disbarments or dismissals of those involved, TRUST ME!
Ok this is the way its going to happen. He will delay it. Then Trump will pardon himself. What a chit show lol waste of time and money.
Just because joe biden is president doesnt mean you can go committing these crimes like treason and get away with it what a bunch of croupt government people joe biden administration
Dont listen to trump, put him in jail on the 10th of January, he wont go to his inauguration while hes in jail.
