Donald Trump has called on the Supreme Court to weigh in on his hush-money case as his sentencing looms next month.
The former president, who was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, is set to be sentenced on July 11, four days before the beginning of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
He has vowed to appeal his history-making conviction on charges related to his efforts to unlawfully influence the 2016 election with a scheme to cover up a hush-money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels.
“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Sunday evening.
“A Radical Left Soros backed D.A., who ran on a platform of ‘I will get Trump,’ reporting to an ‘Acting’ Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation?” he added. “The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!”
The presumptive 2024 Republican nominee said last week he would be appealing the “scam” verdict, though Trump lawyer Todd Blanche told CBS News on Friday that the process “starts after sentencing.”
If his appeal fails in New York state courts, Trump’s lawyers could appeal to the Supreme Court if they can convince at least four of its nine justices to hear the case. Trump would then have to show how the trial violated his federal constitutional rights.
His call for the high court to “decide” comes after House Speaker Mike Johnson last week claimed the Supreme Court “should step in.”
“This is totally unprecedented,” Johnson said of Trump’s conviction during a Friday appearance on Fox & Friends, adding that the verdict is “dangerous to our system.” “This is diminishing the American people’s faith in our system of justice itself,” he added.

SCOTUS Judges that fly USA flags upside down, take multimillion’s dollars vacation from SC litigants without reporting them, gifts and vacations from NAZI sympathizers….that does not give you pause?
As a combat veteran myself from another misguided asian adventure I can tell you with ALL DUE respect that your critical thinking is seriously compromise by propaganda and advanced age. You sir, are taking the word and carrying water for a guy who lied not to serve, have clearly call us who actually served LOSERS and have no respect for neither the Constitution or those who had their blood spilled to protect it.
Trump was given an extremely fair trial by a qualified judge and found guilty by a jury of his peers for which they have a chance to choose the jurors…and this is not the end…there are federal and other two states indicting Trump for crimes.
Please, show some respect for the country generations of patriots without fake bone spurs have chosen to serve
Germanshith, you are a far-left, closet-kommie, douche-bag! …eom
Ah Hitlerite/GermanSmith, you never served you’re an A.I. Russian bot!
Trump asked for change of venue, was denied that, so corrupt trial!
All real U.S. Troops /Veterans prefer Trump to evil pervert horrible father/horrible president Hitlerite/Communist/liar/criminal/traitor/dictator/warmonger Jokementia Bribery!
What is going on n this country now is one BIG SHIT SHOW!!!! How disgusting!!! There needs to be some huge changes in American politics and 85% belong behind bars for what they are doing!!! We are a laughing stock around the world!!!!
No dear, MAGA supporters are the laughing stock at home.
The rest of the world is actually wondering WHY would any section of the USA population would even consider re-electing a clown like Trump, considered 2nd worst President in history by historians, who left office with double digit unemployment, a down economy, a depressed S&P and hundred of thousands dying from COVID and billions of dollars fraudulently given to crooks in the PPP fiasco.
Russian A.I. bot Hitler/GermanSmith used to claim to be a Republican, now claims to be a Veteran, but is just another lying Democrat/Russian/Communist bot… and not a very believeable one… Putin needs to recall IT for repairs…
Why not, SCOTUS is corrupted and it does not follow a comprehensive set of ethics guidelines…perfect for the Corrupt-in Chief Trump
I hope Judge Roberts is prepared to go down in history as the one presiding in a court where 3 judges (Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch…Scalia as well, but he died during one of those fancy vacations paid by a litigant) have been found to have received millions of dollars in gifts, vacations and sweetheart deals, without reporting them, from people that have businesses with the courts
Segregation is the answer. Libs together, conservatives together. I do not want to live like you. I do not see my country as you do.
In 1860’s, Gen. Sherman said we must rekick the evil Democrats asses again every 100 years… obviously they’re about 60+ years overdue for their latest…
The left has done an incredible job of indoctrinating its supporters as you can see they do not even know they have been indoctrinated very efficient. The benefits of the past Trump administration cannot be denied and the damage by the Biden Administration cannot be denied either. The facts are there, research, and don’t be delusional. (Look up the word delusional also)
You nailed it Marty!
Democrats and Left wing supporters are in for a rude awakening. You are destroying our country, have removed the legal rights of our citizens, that means anyone that doesn’t agree with your agendas.
Your greatest fears Trump, because he stands for the people, first and foremost. He has support of the majority of citizens!!
What you are trying, and have already done to him, will come back and bite you back in the end. What you have done to him, as illegal as it is, can now come back in reverse and bite you back!!
Your days are numbered!! You might pray for forgiveness, but the damage you have rought cannot be forgiven or forgotten. You have opened the floodgates to bring former Presidents to court, NOW the courts can be used against you.
You have caused our country to more than lose face around the world. It’s like our country is no longer the bright and shining star around the world. We are no.longer looked upon with respect btly others. You have made us all a joke!!
Until you are removed for your hatred and corruption, We the citizens, will never have our freedom again, we will never prosper intil you disappear!!
You have done so much damage, it will take decades to put a dent in or reverse the damages you have rought!!!
Hope you have nightmares, you suffer greatly. You sure deserve it. But you are probably without a conscience, maybe even a soul to begin with. You don’t even have the intelligence to see the true damage you have done, and will deny it till the end!!
Shame on you!!!!
OTOH, Trump should have pardoned Good Officer Derek Chauvin and all the Jan. Peaceful Protestors that didn’t break/damage anything… to show the evil Democrats they can’t get away with that crapola! But he didn’t, and now he’s in the same boat!
