Abstract

Donald Trump has requested a New York appeals court to postpone his hush money sentencing scheduled for January 10, as he seeks to overturn his guilty verdict before his inauguration. The court ruled that the jury's verdict cannot be vacated due to presidential immunity not extending to a president-elect, but indicated that Trump would not face jail time. Trump's lawyers argue that any sentence, even an unconditional discharge, would be unconstitutional, and are appealing the decision. The case involves Trump being found guilty on 34 felony counts related to concealing payments to an adult film star before the 2016 election. [Extracted from the article]
