Donald Trump’s punishment for his faith in , his quiet cash case , will likely be delayed by at least two weeks after Trump’s lawyers asked the prosecutor to set aside his faith in light of , Monday’s beautiful Supreme Court ruling on political immunity.
In order for Justice Juan Merchan to assess the impact of the best court’s decision, Manhattan prosecutors wrote on Tuesday that they do not resist reversing the punishment, which was scheduled for next week.
Lawyers for Trump argued in a text to Merchan on Monday that the Supreme Court’s decision supported the arguments they had made earlier that prosecution should not have been permitted to present particular types of evidence.
Tweets the former president posted while president, including posts where he , spoke about how Michael Cohen would not “flip” , , ethics filings and call records from when he was in office, and the , testimony of former campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks  , all fall under “official asks”, lawyers Blanche and Bove wrote.
” President Trump does not subject to an injunction of the July 11, 2024 punishment time”, the attorneys wrote.
Merchan may act as soon as Tuesday on planning.
Under the fresh Supreme Court decision, these “official- functions data should never have been put before the judge”, the lawyers wrote in the text, which was made common Tuesday.
In a letter on Tuesday, the Manhattan DA’s office said they would not resist a pause in the punishment. ADA Joshua Steinglass filed a reply Tuesday, asking for a fresh date of July 24, to record a reply.
Although we do n’t agree with the defendant’s arguments, we do not oppose his request for a hearing to adjourn sentencing pending the outcome of his motion, he wrote.
Trump was found guilty of 34 misdemeanor counts of falsifying company records in order to sway Stormy Daniels ‘ use of covert stories to smear porn star Stormy Daniels in order to sway the 2016 election’s outcome.
” The , Trump , selection confirmed the security status that DANY should not have been permitted to offer information at test of President Trump‘s recognized functions”, his lawyers wrote in the letter.
The Supreme Court’s decision on Monday gave Trump more legitimate leeway in his legal fight against his numerous criminal cases, giving him more legal leeway. The justices determined that leaders are not held accountable for “unofficial works.”
Professionals were skeptical that the selection may let Trump get rid of his judgment.
Attorney Ron Kuby told the Daily News on Monday that the underlying plot to control the outcome of the election occurred before Trump became president, and Michael Cohen’s payments to Stormy Daniels were” traditional” examples of illegal acts.
The original leader is likely to be the only person facing criminal charges before the election. His different cases have faced major difficulties, and his trial in Washington, D. C., where he was charged with improperly attempting to reverse the effects of the 2020 election, is expected to be further delayed because of the Supreme Court decision.
Recently, Trump’s July 2023 attempt to get the hush- money charges moved to national court was rejected by Manhattan Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who wrote that the matter was merely a specific” coverup of an embarrassing event”, never an official function of the presidency.
” Hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a president’s official acts”, Hellerstein wrote in the ruling. ” It does not reflect in any way the color of the president’s official duties”.
