Judge Denies Trump’s Request to Adjourn Sentencing in Hush Money Case
In a recent development, Judge Juan Merchan has denied President-elect Donald Trump’s request to delay the sentencing in his criminal hush money case. The sentencing remains scheduled for January 10, 2025, just ten days before Trump’s inauguration.
Trump’s legal team sought to postpone the sentencing, arguing that the appeal process was incomplete and citing presidential immunity. However, Judge Merchan dismissed these arguments, emphasizing the importance of proceeding with the sentencing as planned.
The case centers on Trump’s conviction for falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. In May 2024, Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts associated with these payments.
Despite the conviction, Judge Merchan has indicated that Trump will not face prison time, fines, or probation. Instead, he is expected to receive an unconditional discharge, allowing him to assume the presidency without the immediate burden of sentencing repercussions.
Trump’s legal team has expressed intentions to appeal the conviction, potentially escalating the matter to higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. They argue that the charges are politically motivated and that presidential immunity should apply.
As the sentencing date approaches, the legal community and the public remain attentive to the implications of this case, particularly concerning the intersection of criminal proceedings and presidential duties.
