According to PANews, on January 8, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump filed a request with the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the proceedings scheduled for January 10 regarding his indictment on 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records in New York. Trump's emergency application seeks to pause the prosecution until his appeal concerning presidential immunity is resolved. Trump's legal team argued that the Supreme Court should immediately suspend further proceedings in the New York trial court to prevent significant injustice and potential harm to the presidential system and federal government operations.
