Summary

Prosecutors in Trump’s case involving 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to hush money payments have proposed delaying sentencing until after his presidency, citing the unique legal challenges posed by his election.

Trump’s lawyers argue the case should be dismissed based on a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, but prosecutors assert that the trial evidence remains strong.

This case marks the first criminal conviction of a former U.S. president and has sparked intense legal and political controversy.

    This whole ordeal feels like a massive miscalculation from the Democrats. They slow-played Trump’s prosecutions so that they could convict him after he secured the nomination. He should have been charged with everything they had in 2021.
