US President-elect Donald Trump, convicted criminally in New York in the spring for hidden payments to a porn star, has appealed the pronouncement of his sentence, scheduled for Friday, ten days before his inauguration, according to an appeal made public Monday.
For the umpteenth legal maneuver, the lawyers of the man who will be the 47th President of the United States on January 20 are demanding an ‘automatic suspension’ of the procedure, which provides, under an order of January 3 from a judge of the criminal court of Manhattan, a hearing on January 10 at 9:30 a.m. (2:30 p.m. in Switzerland) so that Mr. Trump knows his ‘sentence’.
It must be pronounced just ten days before his inauguration in Washington, even if the Republican, elected on November 5, will not go to prison.
“The court should cancel the sentencing hearing scheduled for January 10, 2025, and suspend all deadlines in this case until appeals based on President Trump’s immunity have been completely and finally exhausted.” according to his lawyers.
