Trump seeks indefinite delay in New York criminal sentencing

Donald Trump has asked a federal court to intervene in his New York criminal case. With sentencing scheduled for next month, Trump is looking to overturn his felony conviction and indefinitely delay his sentencing. The former president’s lawyers asked the U.S. District Court in Manhattan to take control of the New York City criminal case, arguing that the state-level prosecution violated Trump’s constitutional rights and ran afoul of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity. Last year, Trump tried to move the case to federal court, but it was rejected.
