The Supreme Court rejected former President Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing in his hush money case in New York. This clears the way for Judge Juan M. Merchan to impose a sentence on Friday. Trump was convicted of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. While Trump's attorneys argued for a delay citing evidence violations and the presidential transition, prosecutors countered that there was no justification for the court's intervention.
WASHINGTON — A divided Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump ’s bid to delay his sentencing in his hush money case in New York.The court’s order clears the way for Judge Juan M. Merchan to impose a sentence Friday on Trump, who was convicted in what prosecutors called an attempt to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied any liaison with Daniels or any wrongdoing.
Judges in New York have found that the convictions on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to personal matters rather than Trump’s official acts as president. Daniels says she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. He denies it.Trump’s attorneys called the case politically motivated, and they said sentencing him now would be a “grave injustice” that threatens to disrupt the presidential transition as the Republican prepares to return to the White House.
