In a surprising twist, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hit the pause button on criminal proceedings in his New York hush money case. 🛑💰
After being denied a halt by a New York appeals court, Trump's legal team made a bold move on Wednesday. They filed a request urging the nation's top court to immediately order a stay in the case. 📄⚖️
At the heart of the matter is the question of presidential immunity, following an earlier Supreme Court ruling. Trump's lawyers are pushing for an appeal to resolve these complex legal issues. 🚀🧐
The appeal effort might reach the Supreme Court as well, according to his lawyers. They're also asking for a temporary \"administrative stay\" while the court considers the bigger request for a broader pause. ⏳🔒
This legal drama adds another chapter to the ongoing saga surrounding Trump and his legal battles. Stay tuned, folks! It's getting interesting. 👀✨
