New York justice offered Donald Trump's lawyers the possibility of requesting the annulment of the proceedings in the Stormy Daniels affair for which the president-elect was criminally convicted.
UNITED STATES – A real breath of fresh air for the president-elect. Convicted last May of hidden payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump obtained the postponement of his sentence which was scheduled for Tuesday, November 26.
Above all, Judge Juan Merchan authorized Donald Trump's lawyers to present an appeal by December 2 to obtain the annulment of the entire procedure. The Manhattan prosecutor's office opened the way on Tuesday for this new postponement, believing that it would oppose an outright cancellation of the procedure, but that this question deserved to be examined after the election of the convicted person to the White House. .
Going along with the defense lawyers, Alvin Bragg even recognized that freezing all prosecutions “ until the end of the presidential term » of the 47th President of the United States must be considered.
Trump spokesperson called sentencing delay a “decisive victory”.
In this case tried in New York, Donald Trump was found guilty of “aggravated accounting falsification to conceal a conspiracy to pervert the 2016 election.” A pan that did not prevent him from running in the presidential election, and even less from winning it.
Of the four criminal proceedings targeting Donald Trump, this case is the only one in which a trial was held for a presidential candidate, an unprecedented scenario in American history.
