Trump appeals hush-money verdict hours after immunity ruling

On Monday, Donald Trump's lawyers urged the New York judge who presided over his hush-money trial to overturn his conviction and postpone his sentencing, which was slated for later this month. The letter to Judge Juan M Merchan noted the US Supreme Court's order earlier Monday. It urged the judge to postpone the former president's sentencing while considering the high court's decision and how it may affect the New York case, according to the letter obtained by the Associated Press.
