Trump Asks New York Judge to Halt Sentencing on 34 Felony Counts in Hush Money Case
Jan 6, 2025, 03:23 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has requested a New York judge to halt his sentencing in the hush money case, scheduled for January 10, as his legal team appeals a recent ruling upholding his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump's lawyers are challenging the decision by Justice Juan Merchan, who rejected Trump's claim of presidential immunity and upheld the guilty verdict. The appeal seeks to pause the proceedings, arguing that the court lacks authority to proceed with sentencing while the appeal is pending. Merchan has indicated that he plans to sentence Trump to an unconditional discharge, which would close the case without imposing jail time, fines, or probation.
