America's first felon president-elect throws legal tantrum over January sentencing
America's first president-elect felon is demanding that a New York judge delay his January 10 sentencing for a mere 34 felonies.
In a 17-page court filing dripping with royal prerogative, Trump's legal team insists that his impending return to the White House should put his criminal proceedings "on ice." Never mind that New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has already promised not to send Trump to jail, proposing instead what amounts to a ceremonial finger-wagging through "unconditional discharge" – a sentence that would brand Trump a felon while sparing him any actual punishment.
