Trump’s Legal Battle Continues as Supreme Court Rejects New York Appeal
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied President-elect Donald Trump’s request to delay his sentencing in the Manhattan “hush money” case, allowing the proceedings to continue as scheduled.
In a 5-4 decision, the Court concluded that any concerns regarding trial evidentiary violations could be addressed on appeal and that the burden of sentencing on Trump’s presidential transition was minimal.
The sentencing is set for Friday morning, with Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan intending to impose an “unconditional discharge” after a brief virtual hearing, meaning no punishment.
This decision marks a significant development in the legal proceedings against President-elect Trump, who was convicted on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records to cover up a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
