Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush Money Sentencing

ai generated text

Donald Trump has been denied a delay in his sentencing for a criminal conviction related to hush money paid to a porn star. The conviction stems from 34 counts of falsifying business records. Trump's lawyers had requested a delay, arguing that a rushed pre-inauguration sentencing would be inappropriate due to alleged violations of presidential immunity. However, the judge, Juan M. Merchan, rejected the motion, stating that Trump's arguments were largely repetitive and that the case should proceed as scheduled.

    1. The American People elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate that demands an immediate end to the political weaponisation of our justice system and all of the remaining Witch Hunts.
    2. The Supreme Court's historic decision on Immunity, the state constitution of New York, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed.
    3. Today, President Trump's legal team moved to stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.'s Witch Hunt.
    1. Presidential immunity violations cannot be ignored in favor of a rushed pre-inauguration sentencing.
    1. Defendant's motion for a stay of these proceedings, including the sentencing hearing scheduled for January 10, 2025, is hereby DENIED.
    2. This Court has considered Defendant's arguments in support of his motion and finds that they are for the most part, a repetition of the arguments he has raised numerous times in the past.
    1. The Court's non-binding preview of its current thinking regarding a hypothetical sentencing does not mitigate these bedrock federal constitutional violations.
