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.
I am innocent of all of the Judge's made-up, fake charges.
For the sake and sanctity of the Presidency, I will be appealing this case, and am confident that JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.
I respect the court's opinion -- I think it was actually a very good opinion for us because you saw what they said, but they invited the appeal and the appeal is on the bigger issue. So, we'll see how it works out.
Our function right now primarily is to continue to give voice to that verdict and respect, as a principle -- bedrock principle of the administration of justice -- that the jury's voice must not be rubbed out.
No person, no matter who they are, should engage in out-of-court communication with a judge or justice who's considering that person's case.
