Yep, that guy is back in the headlines, and this time it’s all about his legal drama in New York. So here’s the scoop: Trump just filed a motion to hit the brakes on his sentencing for those 34 counts of falsifying business records. That’s set for January 10, 2025—just ten days before he’s supposed to take office again. Talk about drama!
His legal team, led by Steven Cheung, isn’t holding back either. They’re calling this whole thing a “witch hunt” by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the Democrats who are apparently shaking in their boots at the thought of Trump being back in power. Cheung told Fox Digital that this case is a “meritless hoax” and really should be tossed out based on some past court decisions about presidential immunity. He went on to say, “The American people elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate.” You can feel the heat coming from that statement!
Now, don’t think for a second that the DA’s office is just going to roll over. They shot back hard at Trump’s motion, urging Judge Juan Merchan to keep things on schedule—no delays allowed! They argue there’s no solid legal reason to stall this circus any longer. And get this: Judge Merchan has already confirmed there will be no penalties handed down during sentencing. Still, Trump wants that verdict overturned entirely.
Let’s not forget why we’re even here: it all ties back to those alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels from way back in 2016. Crazy how time flies, right? But Trump has been adamant about his innocence throughout all this mess. Over the weekend, he took to Truth Social (yes, that platform) and called New York’s legal system “broken.” He claims it’s all part of a bigger scheme designed to sabotage his presidency and ruin New York’s business scene.
“Virtually every legal scholar says there is no (ZERO!) case against me,” he ranted online. Sounds pretty confident if you ask me!
And let me tell you—the timing couldn’t be more intense. While Judge Merchan assures us there won’t be any jail time involved, can you imagine what it’ll look like if a president-elect faces sentencing just days before getting sworn in? It adds another layer of polarization as he prepares for another round in the political ring.
With Trump promising big changes—like “unbanning” offshore drilling and rolling back Biden’s policies on day one—things are heating up fast both legally and politically as we approach January 20th.
So buckle up; this legal showdown between Trump’s team and Manhattan DA is just another episode in the ongoing saga of politics versus lawfare—and trust me; it’s bound to get even wilder from here!
