**Trump Pushes for Stay in Hush Money Case Sentencing**
In a bold legal move, former President Donald Trump is seeking to pause his upcoming sentencing related to the controversial hush money case that has captured national headlines.
Trump's legal team filed a petition on Sunday, urging New York state Judge Juan Merchan to vacate the scheduled sentencing hearing set for January 10, 2025.
The appeal argues that the court should suspend all further proceedings until Trump's claims of presidential immunity are fully addressed by higher courts.
"The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the state constitution of New York, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed," the filing asserts.
The hush money case centers around a payment made in the waning days of the 2016 presidential campaign, orchestrated by Trump's then-attorney, Michael Cohen, to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has consistently denied any claims regarding the payment and its implications.
Judge Merchan recently ruled that Trump could appear for sentencing either in person or virtually, a move seen by many as an effort to maintain decorum amidst a politically charged atmosphere.
Although Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, Judge Merchan indicated that he does not intend to impose any jail time, potentially allowing Trump to avoid further legal repercussions.
This latest development comes as Trump prepares for his return to political life, as he has been certified as the 47th President of the United States following a previous victory.
Many of Trump's supporters view the ongoing legal battles as a politically motivated attack by those opposed to his policies and vision for America.
As the situation unfolds, it is clear that Trump's legal battles are far from over. His resilience in the face of these allegations underscores his unwavering commitment to his supporters and the conservative principles they champion.
