Former President Donald Trump has requested a federal appeals court to delay his sentencing in the New York hush money case, set for September 18th. This move follows District Judge Alvin Hellerstein's denial to shift the case to federal court. Trump's attorneys argue that proceeding with the sentencing could cause "irreparable harm" by leading to "unconstitutional incarceration" just as the 2024 Presidential election approaches.
