Trump Calls On Supreme Court To Intervene After Historic Conviction
HuffPost
The former president also warned he wasn't sure the public “would stand" for him to be jailed.
Former President Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court to intervene following his conviction on all counts in his hush money trial on Sunday, lamenting to his followers that a sentencing hearing is scheduled just days before the Republican National Convention.
“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “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!”
A jury found Trump guilty on all 34 charges he faced in the trial, agreeing he had falsified business records to cover up allegations of a sexual encounter with porn star Stormy Daniels. The verdict makes him the first president in American history to be declared a felon, although it’s unclear how that historic designation will impact the election in November.
Trump, as he did throughout the trial, responded with fury to the decision, attacking the justice system, the judge who oversaw the case and anyone critical of his actions. He has pledged to appeal the verdict.
