Here Is The Last Hurdle To Donald Trump Being Sentenced On His 34 Felony Convictions In New York

As former President Donald Trump faces sentencing next month for his conviction on 34 felony counts related to a scheme involving hush money payments during the 2016 election, legal experts are closely watching the developments in the case.

A YouTube video released by former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner on Sunday, August 18, 2024, pointed out a potential clue from the presiding judge that could signal the outcome of a critical legal motion.

Trump’s legal team has filed a motion to dismiss his conviction, citing the Supreme Court’s recent presidential immunity decision.

This motion represents the last significant obstacle before Trump’s scheduled sentencing on September 18.

The motion will be addressed two days earlier, on September 16, leaving many to speculate about its impact on the case.

Kirschner, in his analysis over the weekend, described this motion as the final “hurdle” that could either delay or halt Trump’s sentencing.

He referred to it as a “potential impediment” to the proceedings but also suggested that Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, may have given a subtle indication—or an “Easter egg”—about how he plans to proceed.

Kirschner noted that Judge Merchan, in a recent communication, stated that the sentencing date remains unchanged and that the court would “proceed on that date and time to the imposition of sentence or other proceedings as appropriate.”

This statement has been interpreted by some as a signal that the judge is unlikely to grant the motion to dismiss, thereby clearing the way for sentencing to occur as scheduled.

The case has drawn significant attention, not only because of Trump’s high-profile status but also due to the implications of the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, which Trump’s defense has used as a basis for their motion.

Should the motion be denied, Trump will face sentencing for his involvement in disguising payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, a case that has already left a significant mark on his political legacy.

Kirschner’s analysis adds another layer of intrigue to an already complex legal drama.

The upcoming decision on September 16 will be a pivotal moment, determining whether Trump’s conviction stands or if there will be further delays in the legal process.

As the nation watches, the legal and political ramifications of this case continue to unfold.
