Trump's Legal Team Seeks Sentencing Delay
News summary

Donald Trump's legal team is attempting to delay his sentencing in the hush money case, which is scheduled for September 18, while they seek to move the case to federal court. They argue that a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity supports their claim that the New York case is unconstitutional and should not proceed. Trump's attorneys have filed multiple motions, including a challenge to the conviction based on the assertion that certain evidence should have been excluded due to its relation to his official acts as president. Legal experts suggest these moves are unlikely to succeed, labeling them as attempts to 'delay, deny, delay' Trump’s accountability for his 34 felony charges. Judge Juan Merchan is expected to rule on the immunity argument on September 16, just days before the sentencing. Trump's strategy appears to be a tactical effort to push back legal repercussions while campaigning for the 2024 presidential election.
