Local time on January 8, President-elect Trump filed a request with the U.S. Supreme Court to block the sentencing on January 10 for the 34 felony charges he faces in New York for falsifying business records. Trump's emergency application requests the court to halt the prosecution until his appeal regarding presidential immunity is resolved. Trump's lawyers stated, "The Supreme Court should immediately suspend further proceedings in the New York trial court to prevent severe injustice and damage to the presidential system and the operation of the federal government."
