Trump moves to cancel hush money sentencing on Friday
01/06/2025 10:37 AM EST
resident-elect Donald Trump is seeking to cancel his Friday sentencing for his hush money conviction, arguing that the sentencing hearing must be postponed while he appeals.
In court papers filed Monday, Trump's lawyers signaled that they will ask a New York appeals court to toss out the jury's May verdict, which found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents. In his appeal, Trump intends to argue that he is protected by presidential immunity — arguments that the trial judge, Justice Juan Merchan, rejected.
