Donald Trump Appeals to Supreme Court to Delay Criminal Sentencing
Donald Trump is requesting the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his sentencing in the hush money criminal case, claiming it would cause grave injustice. Trump’s lawyers argue for an automatic stay while appealing his conviction, emphasizing questions around presidential immunity. The Supreme Court has previously granted broad immunity to presidents for official acts. Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, related to a payment made to silence allegations during the 2016 election.
