Trump Seeks Federal Court Move to Delay September 18 Sentencing in Hush Money Case

Aug 30, 2024, 02:53 AM

Former President Donald Trump has filed a second request to move his New York state court hush money case to a federal court. This legal maneuver aims to overturn his felony conviction on 34 counts and indefinitely delay his sentencing, which is currently scheduled for September 18. Trump's legal team argues that the case should be heard in federal court, citing presidential immunity and the significant federal implications involved. The move is seen as an attempt to postpone the sentencing until after the upcoming election.
