In a bold move, President-elect Trump has submitted an urgent petition to the United States Supreme Court, seeking to halt his impending sentencing in the case of New York v. Trump.
As reported by Fox News, the sentencing, scheduled for January 10, was set by Judge Juan Merchan. The case emerged from an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, resulting in a jury verdict that found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree. Despite Trump's plea of not guilty and subsequent appeal, Merchan dismissed the appeal last week.
Steven Cheung, Trump's spokesperson and the incoming White House communications director, communicated the development to Fox News Digital. He stated, "President Trumps legal team filed an emergency petition with the United States Supreme Court, asking the Court to correct the unjust actions by New York courts and stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.s Witch Hunt." Cheung further emphasized the significance of the Supreme Court's decision, asserting that "The Supreme Courts historic decision on Immunity, the Constitution, and established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed."
Cheung also highlighted the mandate given by the American people in electing Trump, calling for an immediate cessation of what he termed as the "political weaponization of our justice system and all of the remaining Witch Hunts." He expressed optimism about the future, stating, "We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration as President Trump makes America great again."
As this story continues to unfold, it is clear that the President-elect's legal team is prepared to fight vigorously against what they perceive as an unjust and politically motivated prosecution. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the incoming administration and the future of American politics.
