The post Trump’s Legal Battle Intensifies: New York Court Upholds Sentencing Schedule Amid Presidential Immunity Claims appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In a recent ruling, New York Appeals Court Judge Ellen Gesmer has denied President-elect Trump’s petition to delay the “gag fee” sentencing, slated for January 10th. Trump’s defense argued that as President-elect, he should be entitled to the same criminal immunity accorded to an incumbent president. However, the court found this assertion lacked legal merit, emphasizing the need for accountability regardless of political status. The implications of this decision are significant, as Trump’s inauguration on January 20th raises questions about the presidential immunity that could potentially stall legal proceedings. If the court’s timeline holds, the sentencing will proceed, leaving Trump’s legal team to explore further legal challenges to postpone or nullify the ruling. This ongoing legal battle will be closely monitored as it intertwines with the political landscape ahead of Trump’s anticipated second term.
