Americans were shocked when a New York jury convicted Donald Trump. Legal experts had poked endless holes in the questionable trial. Many believe this was political persecution against a Republican candidate for president.
Trump’s team will appeal the decision. This fight could drag on for some time.
But one of the more shocking developments has been the court’s decision to sentence Trump four days before the Republican National Convention. This appears to be an attempt to undermine the party’s 2024 campaign plans. And Trump is not taking this lying down.
From The Post Millennial:
On Sunday, President Donald Trump called on the Supreme Court to intervene before the sentencing date for his Manhattan falsified business documents case, in which a jury found Trump guilty on 34 charges on Thursday…“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention. A Radical Left Soros backed D.A., who ran on a platform of “I will get Trump,” reporting to an “Acting” Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation? The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Donald Trump took to Truth Social to denounce the New York trial. He blasted the “highly conflicted” judge who presided over the case. Many have questioned Judge Merchan’s ability to be un-biased in this case, given that he openly donated to Joe Biden (and his daughter works for the Democrats).
It appeared that the judge may have bent the scales in Democrats’ favor. Some say he even gave bizarre instructions to the jury to ensure they would find Trump guilty. Now, this judge is dating the sentencing to interfere with the Republican convention potentially.
Trump called on the Supreme Court to “decide” this issue. Some have speculated that even the appeals process will be slanted against Trump. He might not even get a fair hearing, then. This entire situation could end up before the Supreme Court, given that it affects the election and the nation’s “future.”
It seems Trump wants the court to take this up quickly, given how soon the sentencing will happen. It is unknown if his lawyers have officially petitioned the court or how the court will proceed.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump called on the Supreme Court to rule in his conviction verdict.
- The judge planned the sentencing to be four days before the RNC.
- Many believe the entire trial was rigged by Democrats against Trump.
