Legal scholars are anticipating that Donald Trump will invoke presidential immunity to delay his sentencing hearing for hush-money payments, scheduled for September 18.
Trump plans to challenge the admissibility of evidence against him before his sentencing, which is traditionally not allowed under New York criminal procedure law.
Former prosecutors emphasize that defendants typically can only appeal post-sentencing, describing Trump's intended interlocutory appeal as unprecedented and legally questionable.
The Supreme Court has recently ruled that a president's official actions cannot be used in criminal prosecutions, giving Trump a potential defense strategy.
