After a day of victory, President Donald J. Trump weighed in on “the impact of the Immunity Ruling” on Truth Social shortly after his July 11 sentencing date was postponed until September.
“TOTAL EXONERATION! It is clear that the Supreme Court’s Brilliantly Written and Historic Decision ENDS all of Crooked Joe Biden’s Witch Hunts against me, including the WHITE HOUSE AND DOJ INSPIRED CIVIL HOAXES in New York,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday.
“All of these Unfair Charges represent the WORST level of Election Interference ever seen in our Country’s long and storied History,” he continued. “It must be understood, that I was Totally and Completely Innocent from the beginning of this Giant and Highly Illegal Scam, long before the Supreme Court’s Decision was released.”
“The impact of the Immunity Ruling is a loud and clear signal for Justice in the United States,” wrote President Trump on his social media platform.
Hush money case judge Juan Merchan agreed on Tuesday to delay President Trump’s sentencing date to at least September 18, according to the AP, although it could be set even later.
This delay is a big victory for President Trump, who will now be able to campaign all summer and accept the official GOP nomination at the RNC without an imminent potential sentencing.
The judge’s and prosecution’s decision comes just one day after Trump’s lawyers sought to have the 45th president’s guilty verdict overturned in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. On Monday, the nation’s highest court ruled 6-3 that presidents have full immunity for official acts committed during their time in office. This ruling paves the way for President Trump’s lawyers to challenge the legal standing of much of the lawfare Trump is facing.
He concluded on Truth Social, “I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!”
