Summary

Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block his sentencing in New York’s hush money case, scheduled for Friday.

Trump’s legal team argues presidential immunity, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling shielding certain official acts from prosecution, though it excludes personal actions.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts for falsifying records tied to hush money payments during the 2016 election.

A New York judge ruled that immunity does not apply until Trump is sworn in.

Prosecutors must respond by Thursday morning.

    As a convicted felon, many countries could refuse him entry.

    No country is going to refuse entry to the President of the United States. I don’t care if he committed the Manson family murders.

    EDIT: For those who are downvoting me, he’s already a convicted felon. Here’s a list of countries that would normally deny entry to convicted felons.

    Go ahead and let me know when Canada, the UK, Japan, Austrailia, or even China denies Trump entry. Downvotes don’t change facts, people. If you’re going to downvote, list one country that is going to deny the President of the United States entry because he is a convicted felon. You don’t have to like the truth, but downvoting fact-based information doesn’t change it.
