President-elect Donald J. Trump is planning a legal offensive to halt his criminal sentencing, which is set just before his inauguration, aiming to avoid becoming the first convicted felon president.
Trump's attorneys are seeking to postpone the sentencing scheduled by Judge Juan M. Merchan, arguing that it would distract from his presidential duties and have broader implications.
Despite the likelihood of failure in their request, Trump's team intends to pursue emergency appellate review, emphasizing the potential impact of a felony conviction on his presidency.
The legal strategy includes filing a civil action against Justice Merchan to freeze the sentencing, showcasing Trump's urgent effort to mitigate the repercussions of his conviction.
