Trump's Legal Battles and Presidential Immunity
Donald Trump is facing sentencing for his conviction in a hush money case that marked him as the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. Following his conviction on 34 felony counts, Trump is arguing for presidential immunity, suggesting that the same protections afforded to sitting presidents should apply to him as a president-elect. His legal team filed a petition with the Supreme Court to intervene and delay the sentencing, arguing that a conviction could harm his ability to perform his presidential duties. The trial judge, however, specified that Trump would receive an unconditional discharge rather than any form of punishment, meaning the conviction would stand without penalties.
