Supreme Court rejects Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bid to delay sentencing in his New York hush money case

NEWS TRACKER 12 FOURS DUKE. THANK YOU. IT IS 642. NOW TO THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE. OUR LEGAL ANALYST, ATTORNEY DAN ADAMS, JOINS US EVERY MONDAY BREAKING DOWN THE BIGGEST CASES HAPPENING ACROSS WISCONSIN AND THE COUNTRY. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. DAN, LET바카라 게임 웹사이트�S START WITH PRESIDENT ELECT DONALD TRUMP. CONGRESS WILL CERTIFY HIS ELECTION WIN TODAY, TWO WEEKS BEFORE HIS INAUGURATION. IT COMES AS THE JUDGE PREPARES TO SENTENCE HIM THIS WEEK IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY CASE. IN A RARE MOVE, THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY GIVEN INSIGHT INTO WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE. DAN. YES, IT IS A RARE MOVE FOR A JUDGE TO TIP THEIR HAND AS TO WHAT THEIR SENTENCE WILL BE IN A CRIMINAL CASE. BUT AGAIN, THE JUDGE WAS RESPONDING TO A MOTION TO DISMISS AFTER THE TRIAL, WHERE TRUMP바카라 게임 웹사이트�S LAWYER SAID THAT BASICALLY, THE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY AND SUPREMACY CLAUSE ESSENTIALLY BOOTSTRAPPING THE DECISION RELATING TO THE D.C. FEDERAL INDICTMENT THAT WAS APPEALED ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT LAST YEAR WITH A FAVORABLE RULING TOWARDS TRUMP, SHOULD BE APPLIED IN THIS CASE. THE STATE CASE IN NEW YORK. AGAIN, THIS WAS AFTER A SEVEN WEEK TRIAL OF PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP WAS CONVICTED OF 34 FELONY COUNTS FOR FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS. THIS IS THE STORMY DANIELS CASE, THE JUDGE SAID. NO. BEING PRESIDENT ELECT DOES CONFER THE SAME IMMUNITY AS BEING THE ACTUAL PRESIDENT. SO PLEASE APPEAR FOR YOUR SENTENCING. AND IN FACT, THIS CASE HAS BEEN SET FOR SENTENCING 3 OR 4 TIMES AT THIS POINT. AND WHAT THE JUDGE HAS DONE IS SAID, NO, YOU DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T GET TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT, BUT WE ARE GOING TO SENTENCE YOU AND I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M GOING TO TIP MY HAND TO SAY, YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE NOT GOING TO GO TO JAIL. YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE NOT GOING TO GET PROBATION, YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO GET WHAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S CALLED A UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE, WHICH UNDER NEW YORK LAW BASICALLY MEANS THE CONVICTION STAND. YOU CAN START TO APPEAL YOUR CASE, BUT YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF PUNISHMENT OR PENALTY. SO THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S WHAT PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP IS LOOKING AT THIS WEEK. IF HE ACTUALLY SHOWS UP TO THE NEW YORK COURTHOUSE, THE JUDGE HAS SAID HE CAN APPEAR VIA ESSENTIALLY ZOOM FOR A TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE, WHICH AGAIN SIGNALS THE JUDGE NOT TO LOOKING TO TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT. NOW, IF TRUMP WERE NOT TO ACTUALLY APPEAR BY ZOOM, I DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T KNOW WHAT THE JUDGE IN NEW YORK COULD DO ABOUT IT. YEAH, AND TRUMP바카라 게임 웹사이트�S TEAM HAS ALREADY TIPPED THEIR HAND AS WELL, SAYING THAT THEY DO PLAN TO APPEAL FULLY APPEAL THIS CRIMINAL CONVICTION. ACTOR AND DIRECTOR JUSTIN BALDONI IS NOW SUING THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR $250 MILLION, FOLLOWING THEIR REPORTING ON THE FEUD BETWEEN HIM AND HIS COSTAR BLAKE LIVELY. HE IS SUING THE TIMES FOR LIBEL. THIS IS A CASE THAT HAS A LOT OF LEGS. TALK ABOUT WHAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOING ON HERE, DAN. OH BOY, THIS IS HOLLYWOOD PR BY LAWSUIT. ESSENTIALLY. LAST MONTH, BLAKE LIVELY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION SAYING THAT SHE WAS SEXUALLY HARASSED AND FURTHERMORE, THAT BALDONI AND HIS PR HENCHMEN BASICALLY WENT OUT TO SMEAR HER DURING THE PR FOR THEIR FILM. IT ENDS WITH US. THEY HAVE TEXT MESSAGES WITH THESE PR PEOPLE AND BALDONI바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO PURSUE THIS SMEAR. SO THERE WAS THIS LAWSUIT. LIVELY IS ALSO FILED NOW A FEDERAL LAWSUIT WITH THE SAME ALLEGATIONS. HOWEVER, BALDONI, IN HIS PR LAWSUIT HAS FILED AGAINST THE NEW YORK TIMES, SAYING THAT THEY HAVE DEFAMED HIM BECAUSE THEY KNEW MANY OF THESE TEXT MESSAGES WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. SO AGAIN, THIS IS A BIG FIGHT NOW IN MULTIPLE COURTROOMS BETWEEN THESE TWO HOLLYWOOD STARS, IT SEEMS, AGAIN, MORE ABOUT PR POSTURING THAN ANY TYPE OF RECOURSE IN THE COURTS. YEAH, DEFINITELY NOT THE END THAT WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE SEEN IN THIS CASE. DAN ADAMS, IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOOD TO

A sharply divided Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s final bid to put his New York hush-money case on hold, clearing the way for him to be sentenced for felony crimes days before he returns to the presidency.The court바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 5-4 order allows Judge Juan M. Merchan to impose a sentence Friday on Trump, who was convicted in what prosecutors called an attempt to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied any liaison with Daniels or any wrongdoing.Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the court바카라 게임 웹사이트�s three liberals in rejecting his emergency motion.The majority found his sentencing wouldn't be an insurmountable burden during the presidential transition since Merchan has indicated he won't give Trump jail time, fines or probation.Trump's attorneys had asked the sentencing be delayed as he appeals the verdict, but the majority of justices found his arguments can be handled as part of the regular appeals process.Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh would have delayed the sentencing, the order states.Trump said he respects the high court's order, and will pursue an appeal that could end up before the high court again. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I respect the court바카라 게임 웹사이트�s opinion 바카라 게임 웹사이트� I think it was actually a very good opinion for us because you saw what they said, but they invited the appeal and the appeal is on the bigger issue. So, we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll see how it works out,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said at a dinner with Republican governors at his private club in Florida. The defeat comes after the conservative-majority court has handed Trump major victories over the past year, ensuring that states could not kick him off the ballot because of the 2021 attack on the Capitol and giving him immunity from prosecution over some acts he took as president in a ruling that delayed an election-interference case against him.The justices could also be faced with weighing other parts of the sweeping conservative changes he's promised after he takes office.In the push to delay the New York sentencing, Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s attorneys argued he is immune from criminal proceedings as president-elect and said some evidence used in the Manhattan trial violated last summer바카라 게임 웹사이트�s immunity decision.At the least, they have said, the sentencing should be delayed while their appeals play out to avoid distracting Trump during the White House transition.Prosecutors pushed back, saying there바카라 게임 웹사이트�s no reason for the court to take the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�extraordinary step바카라 게임 웹사이트� of intervening in a state case now.

The court바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 5-4 order allows Judge Juan M. Merchan to impose a sentence Friday on Trump, who was convicted in what prosecutors called an attempt to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied any liaison with Daniels or any wrongdoing.
