Supreme Court rejects Trump맥스카지노�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, LET맥스카지노�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 TRUMP맥스카지노�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 DON맥스카지노�T GET TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT, BUT WE ARE GOING TO SENTENCE YOU AND I맥스카지노�M GOING TO TIP MY HAND TO SAY, YOU맥스카지노�RE NOT GOING TO GO TO JAIL. YOU맥스카지노�RE NOT GOING TO GET PROBATION, YOU맥스카지노�RE GOING TO GET WHAT맥스카지노�S CALLED A UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE, WHICH UNDER NEW YORK LAW BASICALLY MEANS THE CONVICTION STAND. YOU CAN START TO APPEAL YOUR CASE, BUT YOU맥스카지노�RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF PUNISHMENT OR PENALTY. SO THAT맥스카지노�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 DON맥스카지노�T KNOW WHAT THE JUDGE IN NEW YORK COULD DO ABOUT IT. YEAH, AND TRUMP맥스카지노�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 WHAT맥스카지노�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 BALDONI맥스카지노�S PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY맥스카지노�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 WE맥스카지노�VE SEEN IN THIS CASE. DAN ADAMS, IT맥스카지노�S GOOD TO

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the court맥스카지노�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. 맥스카지노�I respect the court맥스카지노�s opinion 맥스카지노� 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.

The justices could also be faced with weighing other parts of the sweeping conservative changes he's promised after he takes office.
