Former President Donald Trump has called on the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in his New York criminal trial following his conviction for falsifying business records on 34 felony counts. Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention. Trump has publicly criticized Judge Merchan for the timing of the sentencing on Truth Social and has urged the Supreme Court to act, claiming the trial was politically motivated. This marks the first time a U.S. president has been convicted of a crime, and Trump is seeking the Supreme Court’s intervention to annul the historic guilty verdict or delay the sentencing.
