00:02President-elect Donald Trump has requested the US Supreme Court to block criminal proceedings
00:06in his hush money case, with a sentencing hearing scheduled for Friday in New York.
00:10Trump's legal team argues that presidential immunity protects him from prosecution for
00:15actions taken during his presidency. The court has given New York prosecutors until Thursday
00:19morning to respond to the request. Trump's legal team claims that the case should be dismissed,
00:24citing the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity.
00:28A New York appeals court judge recently declined to block the sentencing,
00:31which follows Trump's conviction in May for falsifying records
00:34relating to payments made to Stormy Daniels. The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential
00:38immunity earlier this year stemmed from a separate case regarding Trump's attempt
00:42to overturn the 2020 election. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com slash GSTV.
