Trump’s lawyers seek delay in Friday’s criminal case sentencing
Donald Trump’s legal team is asking a judge to halt Friday’s New York criminal sentencing. The president-elect wants to put a stop to this week’s sentencing for his conviction in the Stormy Daniels case while his lawyers appeal a ruling upholding the verdict. Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump’s bid to throw out the verdict and scheduled sentencing for Friday, although he signaled he is not likely to sentence Trump to any punishment for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
