Former President Donald Trump has suggested that the Supreme Court intervene in his New York hush money case ahead of his sentencing next month, The Hill reports.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called his opponents "Fascists" and complained that his sentencing was scheduled just ahead of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he set to formally become the GOP presidential nominee.
"The 'Sentencing' for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention," the former president said in part on Truth Social.
Trump also took aim at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the charges against him in the hush money case, and Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw his trial, saying they shouldn't have a hand in "a decision which will determine the future of our Nation."
"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?" Trump wrote.
"The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!" he added.
Trump's comments come after he was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels amid the 2016 election.
He is the first president to become a convicted felon. Trump's sentencing is scheduled for July 11, but the former president has said he plans on appealing the guilty verdict.
