Donald Trump’s lawyers have asked for the former president’s conviction in his hush-money criminal case to be overturned and his sentencing this month delayed, US media report.
A letter sent by Trump’s lawyers to the New York judge presiding over the trial reportedly cites Monday’s Supreme Court ruling that granted the former president immunity from prosecution for official actions he took while in office.
In May, Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. He will be sentenced on 11 July.
His team points out that he signed off the records while president in 2017, but one lawyer suggested this was unlikely to be considered an official act.
Amazing how yall cant talk about Biden without bringing up Trump, but you’re lockstep about not bringing up Biden when talking about Trump.
Its adorable.
PS: He also specifically said “done with this country.”
People talk about Biden all the damn time when Trump’s court corruption comes up. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a thread about Biden changing the court via packing or using the “official act” ruling, I’d be a rich man.
People aren’t getting grumpy at you because you’re bringing up Biden, they’re getting grumpy because you want to start talking about Gaza in court corruption comment thread.
Lemmy’s got noooo shortage of Gaza articles with comments that shit on the current president’s policies. And yes, since this is an election year, they also talk about his opponent’s policies in the region. That guy is winning in the polls and has policies that would be even worse for civilian deaths in that area. Those of us that care about saving civilian lives want to reduce military aid, not double down.
That makes absolutely no sense. This is a thread about Trump with an article posted about Trump. Yet you’re here “biden bad” when it has absolutely nothing to do with him. You’re being disengenious.
