Judge Merchan Refuses to Overturn Trump’s 34 Convictions

Go to Article

Looks like Judge Juan Merchan wants to rock the boat.

He just upheld President Donald Trump’s 34 felony convictions despite a Supreme Court ruling.

You know, the one on presidential immunity.

Guess he feels he doesn’t have to listen to them.

The charges stem from alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

As for President Trump’s sentencing, that’s been delayed.

And motions to dismiss the case remain pending.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Judge Juan Merchan on Monday upheld the 34 felony convictions against President Trump despite the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.

In April, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”

Late last month Judge Merchan delayed Trump’s November 26 sentencing in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case indefinitely.

Trump’s lawyers a couple of weeks ago filed several motions to dismiss the case.

On Monday Merchan rejected Trump’s effort to overturn the felony conviction based on the presidential immunity argument after the Supreme Court ruled US presidents have immunity from prosecution from official acts.

Judge Merchan has not yet ruled on Trump’s request have the case tossed out entirely.

They don’t think they’re actually going to get away with this, do they?

Come Jan 20th, tables will turn.
