Donal Trump Hush Money Case

Donald Trump Appeals to US Supreme Court to Halt New York Hush Money Sentencing

Donald Trump's legal team filed a petition to the Supreme Court to halt the sentencing in his hush money case, which is scheduled for January 10. This decision comes after New York courts declined to delay the sentence, despite Trump's lawyers citing plans to appeal a recent ruling that upheld the conviction. Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in May. His lawyers requested a pause in the proceedings, which was denied by Judge Ellen Gesmer, who cited the Supreme Court's requirement for a response from prosecutors by Thursday morning. Judge Juan M. Merchan, who oversaw Trump's trial, has indicated that he will not impose jail time, fines, or probation, despite the conviction. The Supreme Court has asked for a response from prosecutors by Thursday morning, but it is unclear what the outcome of this request will be.
