Trump's request to halt the Bragg case is denied by the NY appeals court, as the judge postpones sentencing until after the election.

On Thursday, the New York appeals court rejected former President Trump's bid to halt his criminal case, which stems from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's probe.

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump's motion for an emergency administrative stay in New York v. Trump, as Judge Juan Merchan decided to delay the former president's sentencing until after the presidential election.

The former president's sentencing date was changed from September 18th to November 26th at the request of Merchan.

Trump's lawyers requested a pause in the case before the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, stating that there was insufficient time between the court's ruling on presidential immunity on November 12th and the sentencing on November 26th to allow for an appeal.

The office of Bragg stated that a pause in the sentencing would be "unavailable legally" and "unnecessary given the adjournment of the sentencing in the state criminal court. Additionally, they argued that there is still time for Trump to challenge the decision on presidential immunity before sentencing.

Judge Juan Merchan agreed to delay Trump's initial sentencing, which was set for July 11, until Sept. 18, just days before the Republican National Convention where he was to be formally nominated as the 2024 GOP presidential nominee.

Trump requested that the sentencing be postponed until after Election Day, stating "election interference objectives."

Last week, Merchan granted the request, pushing the sentencing date "if necessary" to Nov. 26.

Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, has argued that the verdict should be overturned because of the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity, which grants presidents limited immunity for official acts.

Trump's motion to vacate will be decided by Judge Merchan on Nov. 12.

Blanche mentioned Merchan's daughter's work at Authentic Campaigns, which supports top Democratic candidates.

Blanche contended that Bragg presented official documents as proof in his case against her during the unprecedented six-week trial. These documents included communications from the White House involving staff members such as Hope Hicks and Madeleine Westerhout.

The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts in office but not for unofficial acts. The high court said Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for "official acts" but left it to the lower court to determine exactly where the line between official and unofficial is.

Planet Chronicle Digital exclusively interviewed Trump after his sentencing was delayed until after the presidential election in November, as granted by Merchan.

"Trump stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that the case was delayed because everyone recognized there was no case and he did not make any mistakes, adding that it should never have been brought in the first place."

Every legal scholar who has examined and studied it agrees with Trump that the public understands it.

"Trump stated that he greatly respects the use of the phrase 'if necessary' in this decision because there should be no 'if necessary,' and the case should be dead."

Trump mentioned a part of Merchan's letter from Friday, which informed Trump's lawyers of the delay and stated that "the sentencing on this matter, if required, is postponed to November 26, 2024 at 10am."

Merchan stated on Friday that the "integrity of our judicial system requires a sentencing hearing that solely concentrates on the jury's verdict and the evaluation of aggravating and mitigating factors without any interruptions or manipulations."

An unprecedented criminal trial found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, which resulted from a six-week trial initiated by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

According to Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, there should be no sentencing in the Manhattan DA's investigation into election interference. As per the United States Supreme Court, this case, along with all other Harris-Biden hoaxes, should be dismissed.
