From Fox News: President-elect Donald Trump filed a motion to stay the Jan. 10 sentencing in the New York v. Trump case, Fox Digital has learned.
“Today, President Trump’s legal team moved to stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt. The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the state constitution of New York, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed,” Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications Director Steven Cheung told Fox Digital on Monday morning.
“The American People elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate that demands an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and all of the remaining Witch Hunts. We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration as President Trump makes America great again,” Cheung continued.
New York Judge Juan Merchan set Trump’s sentencing date in the case earlier this month, ahead of his inauguration as president on Jan. 20. Trump is set to be sentenced on Friday, Jan. 10 at 9:30 a.m.
Merchan has already announced the sentencing will involve no ‘punishment,’ but it would officially label Trump as a ‘convicted felon.’

In an opinion editorial on Saturday, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett wrote, “It seems obvious that Merchan is desperate to stain Trump with the formal stricture of “convicted felon.” To do it, he must sentence the incoming president. A jury’s verdict alone is insufficient under the law. Hence, the offer of what amounts to a non-sentence if only Trump will, at the very least, appear virtually during a hearing 10 days before he is sworn in.”
“It is another charade meant to bookend —and cover-up— a sham trial. Show up to be verbally tarred and feathered, but no stocks or pillory will be deployed,” Jarrett wrote.

Trump campaign advisor Corey Lewandowski declared on Monday, “The case against @realDonaldTrump was a farce. The upcoming sentencing is a farce. And in spite of the lawfare (motivated by wanting to keep President Trump out of the White House), the election will be certified today, he’ll be sworn in as the 47th President on January 20th, and America will be great again!”
