Trump Moves to Stay Sentencing in New York Case
President-elect Donald Trump has taken action to delay his upcoming sentencing in the New York v. Trump case, according to sources at Fox Digital. Trump’s legal team filed a motion on Monday morning, seeking to halt what they consider an unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt.
Trump’s Spokesman, Steven Cheung, stated, “Today, President Trump’s legal team moved to stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt. The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the state constitution of New York, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed.” Cheung emphasized the American people’s overwhelming mandate for an end to the political weaponization of the justice system and the remaining Witch Hunts.
Setting the Scene: New York Judge Sets Trump Sentencing Before Inauguration
The sentencing date for Trump in the Manhattan case was set by Judge Juan Merchan earlier this month, just days before Trump’s inauguration as president on January 20. Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, January 10, at 9:30 a.m.
Details of the Case: Trump Found Guilty of Falsifying Business Records
Back in May, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the Manhattan case. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office, led by Alvin Bragg, presented evidence to support their claim that Trump falsified business records to hide a $130,000 payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels. This payment was made prior to the 2016 election, in an attempt to silence her claims of an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
Trump’s Stance: Maintaining Innocence and Criticizing the Case
Throughout the proceedings, Trump has maintained his innocence and repeatedly criticized the case as an example of lawfare promoted by Democrats to undermine his election efforts. In a recent post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump expressed his frustration, stating, “Virtually every legal scholar and pundit says THERE IS NO (ZERO!) CASE AGAINST ME. The Judge fabricated the facts, and the law, no different than the other New York Judicial and Prosecutorial Witch Hunts. That’s why businesses are fleeing New York, taking with them millions of jobs, and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAXES. The legal system is broken, and businesses can’t take a chance in getting caught up in this quicksand. IT’S ALL RIGGED, in this case against a political opponent, ME!!!”
Looking Ahead: Trump’s Plans for a United Country
As the sentencing date approaches, Trump’s team is focused on uniting the country under his new administration. They aim to fulfill the mandate given to President Trump by the American people and make America great again. The outcome of the motion to stay the sentencing remains to be seen, and the case continues to generate intense public interest.
