(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – Just days ahead of his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump escalates his legal battle against the leftist judicial onslaught against him, appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to halt sentencing in the “hush money” case.

He declares these charges as nothing but partisan overreach, a pattern in the treatment of a president who stood for America first.
His appeal questions the boundaries of presidential immunity and aims to safeguard his political legacy.
In a remarkable turn of events, Donald Trump has officially requested the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene and prevent his sentencing in the infamous New York hush money case.
This follows unsuccessful attempts in two lower courts to block proceedings.
Trump’s legal team argues that moving forward without Supreme Court intervention could potentially harm the presidency.
Trump’s attorneys contend that the conviction and sentencing in this case threaten the sanctity of presidential immunity historically granted to officials for acts taken while in office.
They spotlight whether such immunity should also extend to a president-elect.
This case deepens the ongoing debate about what protection a president truly needs during and after their service, Fox News writes in a report.
The Supreme Court previously established that U.S. presidents could be immune from criminal prosecution for official acts.
Trump seeks to apply this ruling to his alleged actions involving business record falsifications associated with a $130,000 payment.
Contrary to accusations, Trump consistently denies any wrongdoing, positioning himself as a victim of persistent political targeting.
Manhattan prosecutors have been tasked by the Supreme Court to respond to Trump’s unusual request.
“We will respond in court papers,” stated Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, confidently suggesting that the legal fight is far from over.

The gravity of this appeal to the Supreme Court cannot be overstated.
It marks the first of Trump’s criminal cases to reach trial, all while the clock ticks toward the potential return to the Oval Office.
A continuation of legal uncertainty could indeed interfere with the incoming administration and disrupt important federal processes.
As anticipation builds around this significant decision, Trump’s lawyers also strive to suppress the release of a Justice Department report.
This report addresses his federal prosecutions concerning alleged election interference and classified document mishandling, with co-defendants seeking shared defense.
As these legal dramas unfold, many Americans are left pondering the intersection of legal fairness and political motivations.
The New York court set Trump’s sentencing for Friday—just ten days before his inauguration—while New York Judge Juan Merchan ruled that Trump does not currently enjoy immunity.
Clearly, the court believes his protection as a potential future president does not absolve him from facing justice now.
Trump’s spokesman, Steven Cheung, echoed the sentiment for dismissing the case based on legal precedent, hoping for a favorable Supreme Court response.
