Summary

Prosecutors in Trump’s case involving 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to hush money payments have proposed delaying sentencing until after his presidency, citing the unique legal challenges posed by his election.

Trump’s lawyers argue the case should be dismissed based on a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, but prosecutors assert that the trial evidence remains strong.

This case marks the first criminal conviction of a former U.S. president and has sparked intense legal and political controversy.

    These weren’t mistakes. Some of them were slow walked because they were friendly judges waiting to see when they could dismiss without it coming back. Others were slow walked trying to fuck Trump during election season.

    This was a miscalculation by state officials who cared more about playing politics than they did about justice.
