This morning, Donald Trump will make history by appearing virtually in court for sentencing related to a hush money scheme. The proceedings are significant not just for Trump, but for the political landscape as well. Given his status as President-elect, this sentencing marks a deviation from the norms of American politics and law.
The Supreme Court's refusal to hear Trump’s last-minute plea to delay sentencing adds another layer of complexity to this unprecedented situation. Trump's acknowledgment of the Court's decision highlights his attempts to navigate the legal ramifications as he prepares to take office. This reaction raises questions about how his legal challenges will impact his presidency moving forward.
In conjunction with the sentencing, an appeals court has ruled that the partial release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report will proceed. This report encompasses significant investigations concerning Trump’s actions on January 6th and the issue of classified documents. The outcome of these investigations and the release of the report could have wide-ranging implications for Trump and his administration.
Today marks a historic moment in American politics as President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sentenced for his role in a criminal hush money case. His sentencing comes after a New York jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records. Trump is scheduled to appear virtually in court at 9:30 AM, making him the first former president to face sentencing in a criminal trial. Reports indicate that the sentencing will largely be procedural and there is no expectation of jail time. Judge Merchan has indicated that this ruling will focus on upholding the conviction rather than imposing prison sentences or extensive fines. In his remarks about the Supreme Court's decision not to hear his appeal to delay sentencing, Trump seemed to downplay the significance of the situation, calling it a fair decision. Despite the trial’s seriousness, he characterized the sentencing as a minor event. Trump's legal troubles continue as an appeals court decision yesterday declined to block the partial release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report regarding the investigations into him. This report pertains to two significant criminal investigations involving Trump: one related to the events of January 6th and another concerning classified documents.Loved how the judge made Trump jump through so many hoops before the sentencing. Made him look like the fool he is, and exposed who the gutless wonders on the Supreme Court are.
Why is he not in court? He appointed these judges so he will be treated as though he is above the law. Terrible.
THE former attorney Michael Cohen paid US$130,000 to Daniels. Cohen personally took his own money to appease Stormy (the Pono-queen). NO GAG ORDER!!! DEMOCRATS dirt digging is OVER! Move on & have a better USA!
