Deep dives

Trump's Legal Maneuvers

Donald Trump's legal team has filed for an indefinite adjournment of his sentencing in a Manhattan criminal case, citing concerns over conflicts and potential improprieties. They aim to prevent the Manhattan District Attorney's office from submitting their sentencing memoranda, claiming that recent Supreme Court decisions on presidential immunity bolster their request. Michael Cohen, a key witness in the case, highlights that Trump's actions reflect a deep anxiety about facing the consequences of his 34 felony convictions, which could lead to substantial prison time. This legal strategy appears to be an attempt by Trump's team to delay potential repercussions as the trial date looms closer.
