Attorneys for Donald Trump are appealing to the US Supreme Court to pause his prosecution on business fraud charges in New York, as sentencing is imminent.
Trump's legal team previously attempted similar appeals that failed, seeking to leverage a separate ruling that grants presidential immunity concerning official acts.
The presiding judge, Juan Merchan, has indicated he is unlikely to sentence Trump to jail despite the convictions on 34 felony charges.
President Joe Biden is considering issuing preemptive pardons in the final days of his administration, potentially shielding Trump’s political enemies from prosecution.
