Donald Trump Appeals Supreme Court to Block Sentencing for Hush Money Case
President-elect Donald Trump has requested the US Supreme Court to suspend his upcoming sentencing related to hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Following a conviction in May for falsifying business records, Trump’s appeals aim to delay proceedings, arguing for Presidential immunity. Trump’s lawyers assert that an automatic stay should take effect due to the ongoing interlocutory appeal, while the New York court dismissed prior requests for postponement. Should the sentencing proceed, Trump would be the first convicted felon to assume the presidency.
