Trump’s lawyers ask judge to halt Friday’s hush money case sentencing while they appeal

LA Times  

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday moved to indefinitely postpone this week’s sentencing in his hush money case as he appeals a ruling that upheld the verdict and put him on course to be the first president to take office convicted of crimes. Trump’s lawyers say the case should be put on hold automatically while they ask a New York appeals court to reverse Judge Juan M. Merchan’s decision last week, which set the case for sentencing on Friday — little more than a week before his inauguration on Jan. 20. They asking the judge to inform them by Monday afternoon of his decision “to allow sufficient time for President Trump to seek an emergency appellate review.” “Today, President Trump’s legal team moved to stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement. If sentencing doesn’t happen before Trump is sworn in, waiting until he leaves office in 2029 “may become the only viable option,” Merchan said last week. The judge wrote that sentencing Trump to what’s known as an unconditional discharge — closing the case without jail time, a fine or probation — “appears to be the most viable solution.” Acknowledging the demands of the transition process, Merchan had given Trump the option to attend in person or appear virtually by video.
