This action follows a ruling from New York&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">top appeals court<\/a> that \u2064denied a request\u200d to delay the sentencing, \u2062wich is set for Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was convicted of multiple \u200dcounts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nikki-haley-nets-11-million-for-campaign-in-6-weeks\/\" title=\"Nikki Haley Nets  Million for Campaign in 6 Weeks\">altering business records<\/a> related\u200b to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-rejects-trump-bid-to-shield-financial-records\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Shield Financial Records\">hush money payments made<\/a> to adult film star Stormy Daniels. His lawyers argue that as some evidence relates to his actions as president, a Supreme Court ruling that \u2063protects a president from prosecution for official acts should apply. They also contend that, as president-elect, he \u2064deserves\u2062 similar protections as \u200ba sitting president.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Juan\u200b Merchan paused \u200cthe sentencing pending Supreme \u200dCourt considerations but has \u2062confirmed \u2062that he will not impose jail\u200c time, probation, or fines. Trump&#8217;s team has acknowledged \u200cthat there\u200c is no historical precedent for presidential \u2062immunity before taking office, which has \u2062raised questions in court. \u200bA\u200b spokesperson for Trump \u200bdescribed the \u2064legal actions against him as a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; and emphasized\u2062 the need to protect the justice system from political manipulation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump is turning to the U.S. Supreme Court in a last-minute bid to avoid being sentenced Friday in a New York City court.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s lawyers made their filing Wednesday; the court gave the Manhattan district Attorney&rsquo;s Office until Thursday morning to respond, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/trump-asks-supreme-court-block-new-york-hush-money-sentencing-rcna186751\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This Court should enter an immediate stay of further proceedings in the New York trial court to prevent grave injustice and harm to the institution of the Presidency and the operations of the federal government,&rdquo; the new filing said.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, New York state&rsquo;s top appeals court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-legal-team-gets-big-win-new-york-judge-juan-merchan-sentencing-delayed-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rejected<\/a> efforts to delay the sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was convicted of multiple charges of altering business records in connection with payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s lawyers have made a two-pronged legal argument.
