Supreme Court Will ‘Slap Down’ Donald Trump Hush Money CaseAttorney [Video]

The Supreme Court will “slap down” any attempt to sentence Donald Trump for his Stormy Daniels hush money payments, a legal expert said.

Trump, the president-elect, faced trial in New York City on 34 counts of falsifying business records for hush money payments made to former adult film actor Stormy Daniels. On May 30, a jury convicted him on all 34 counts, and he is due to be sentenced on November 26 by New York Superior Court judge Juan Merchan.

Greg Germain, a law professor at Syracuse University in New York and a corporate attorney, told Newsweek that he doesn’t think Merchan will continue with the sentencing now that Trump is president-elect.

“The hush money case needs to be stayed. If Judge Merchan tries to proceed with it, or even sets it for sentencing, the Department of Justice will intervene and ultimately the Supreme court will slap him down,” he said.
