Appeals Court Rejects Trump's Bid To Stop Sentencing

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING An appeals court has refused to stop President-elect Donald Trump’s sentencing for his criminal hush money conviction in New York on Friday. Merchan ruled in December that the evidence the jury in New York relied on to convict Trump of falsifying records in a hush money scheme ahead of the 2016 election relied overwhelmingly on his unofficial conduct and unofficial conduct is still prosecutable. The application filed to the appellate court by Trump’s legal team on Tuesday for an immediate stay claims that Merchan’s ruling on Monday is “causing ongoing, irreparable harm by depriving President Trump of his constitutional rights.” Before Merchan made his decision, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued that facing sentencing is not a violation of Trump’s constitutional rights nor does it impose any real burden on him. For one, Bragg argued, until he is inaugurated, Trump is “simply not engaged in any official presidential functions that would support a claim of immunity from ordinary criminal process.” Next, Bragg pointed out, the upcoming sentencing basically carries no real penalty since Merchan has already said the only practical path forward since Trump won the election in November is to hand down a sentence of “unconditional discharge.” Typically, these sentences carry no fines, and no prison time is assigned.
