Former President Trump is facing legal cases, including a hush money conviction in New York and federal cases on election interference and classified documents. His attorneys are attempting to delay sentencing and transfer the New York case to federal court, citing presidential immunity.
The special counsel has filed a new indictment, adjusting for the immunity ruling. Trump's attorneys plan to file motions to dismiss the election-interference case.
The timeline for resolving these issues could stretch into spring and fall 2025. However, Trump's attempts to delay sentencing have been unsuccessful. Judge Hellerstein has denied his request to transfer the case to federal court.
The Supreme Court has confirmed that Trump's hush money payments were private actions and not covered by immunity. Trump is guilty in all charges in the hush money case, and he faces up to four years in prison.
The indictment in the election interference case has been read in court, and Trump has pleaded not guilty. Judge Chutkan is taking swift action in the federal election case after the immunity ruling.
Trump continues to plead not guilty and calls the case a 'witch hunt'.
