Trump’s request to delay the sentencing was denied

According to RCO News Agency, the Court of Appeals of New York, the highest court of this state, rejected the request of “Donald Trump”, the president-elect of the United States, to stop the issuance of the sentence on January 10 in his criminal case.

On Wednesday, Trump simultaneously demanded the suspension of the court order and the closure of his other cases, including the accusation of paying bribes.

According to ABC News, prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office argued in a filing Thursday morning, before the court handed down its verdict, that Trump’s explanation for delaying the sentencing was based on the “absolutely baseless” notion of presidential immunity. The chosen one is stable.

In response to Trump’s argument, attorneys for the Manhattan district attorney asked the New York Court of Appeals to deny Trump’s request because, they said, “the president-elect does not enjoy the immunity afforded to the sitting president.”

“The president-elect, by definition, is not yet the president,” the filing said. Therefore, according to the US Constitution, the elected president does not perform any of the duties of Article 2 of the Constitution.”

Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced Friday after he was convicted in May of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to paying porn star Stormy Daniels to boost his chances in the 2016 presidential election. to be

Attorneys for the Manhattan district attorney also asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to reject Trump’s request to block his sentencing.

“Defendant now asks this court to take the extraordinary step of intervening in a state criminal trial to prevent the scheduled sentencing,” their statement read. There is no basis for such an intervention.”

Prosecutors argued that presidential immunity does not apply to Trump because he is not president until Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration.

“It is obvious that there is only one president at any time,” the attorneys for the district attorney’s office in Manhattan said. “No judicial decision or Department of Justice directive has ever recognized that the unique temporary immunity of a sitting president extends to the president-elect.”

Prosecutors also told the New York Court of Appeals that the jury in Trump’s trial had seen “overwhelming” evidence that he was guilty.

According to ABC News, Trump can be sentenced to four years in prison. But the New York judge has announced that he intends to sentence Trump to unconditional deportation. The reason for this decision is respect for Trump’s victory in the presidential election.
