In the perspective of Donald Trump, he ought to face custodial sentencing in the impending New York confidentiality agreement case. An utterance relayed to The New York Times from Trump’s national spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, came in the wake of the recent guilty verdict for Jaime A. Davidson, a figure who had the remainder of his punishment waived by Trump in 2021. In May, a jury panel in Manhattan found Trump responsible for 34 felony charges related to the misrepresentation of corporate records. There is a forthcoming verdict aimed for September 18th.
Trump has consistently attempted to characterize his legal issues in New York, and other pending court proceedings, as politically motivated trials. A petition from Trump requesting to relocate the New York non-disclosure agreement litigation to a federal court was dismissed by a local judge this Tuesday. In addition to this, Trump’s defense team has approached Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the case, with a request to postpone the verdict until the events of the November 5th presidential election had transpired.
Judge Merchan is expected to pass judgment on this appeal on September 16th, only two days ahead of the anticipated sentencing. Aside from this particular case, there are other instances where Trump faces legal charges. Two of these concern allegations of meddling in the election process and another deals with confidential documents. Against each of these charges, Trump has maintained his innocence.
