Donald Trump's hush money sentencing looks set to go ahead after a federal court rejected his attempts to have the case transferred.Legal commentator Norm Eisen welcomed the federal court's decision and said the transfer request was a 'Hail Mary' pass by Trump's legal team.Writing on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, Eisen, a frequent Trump critic, said: 'Called it: Judge Hellerstein AGAIN rejected Trump's attempts to remove his NY case to federal court.
While it is unlikely he will throw out the charges, there is a possibility that he will delay sentencing again to consider the Supreme Court's decision.If he rejects both of those options, he will sentence Trump two days later on September 18. Trump will be the first former president ever to be sentenced for a crime.Several legal analysts who spoke to Newsweek said Merchan is unlikely to jail Trump so close to the 2024 election.
