Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing for hush money charges paid to a porn star has been rejected by New York's highest court. His legal team is now appealing to the US Supreme Court for a stay of proceedings. The sentencing is scheduled for Friday, just 10 days before Trump's planned inauguration. The Supreme Court could grant a temporary pause or formally rule on Trump's request. Trump's lawyers argue that his presidential immunity should prevent prosecution, while prosecutors maintain that the case focuses on Trump's personal conduct, not official acts.
cards interface. Give it a try.NEW YORK: New York's top court rejected on Thursday Donald Trump 's request to halt the president-elect's sentencing for his conviction on criminal charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star, with a decision on a possible delay now in the hands of the US Supreme Court .
The sentencing is set for 10 days before Trump is due to be sworn in for his second term as president. Any substantial delay would likely mean Trump would not be sentenced before his Jan 20 inauguration.The Supreme Court could place an administrative pause on Trump's sentencing, which would give the nine justices additional time to consider his request to halt his case, or it could formally grant or deny his request. It is also possible the justices do not act before the sentencing.
"This appeal will ultimately result in the dismissal of the District Attorney’s politically motivated prosecution that was flawed from the very beginning," Trump's lawyer John Sauer wrote in the filing.
