Donald Trump appeals to the Supreme Court to postpone his hush money sentencing until the last minute after the New York court rejected his request.

Donald Trump is making another attempt to delay his sentencing in the hush money case, in which he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in May 2024. His sentencing, which had previously been postponed to after the November election, is now scheduled for Friday, January 10, 2025. Trump’s legal team is seeking to delay the sentencing once again, arguing that it should not proceed while he is appealing the ruling. They also claim that the process is distracting him as he prepares to assume the presidency.

However, the New York Court of Appeals has declined to organize a hearing on the matter, and the next possible step for Trump’s team is to appeal to the Supreme Court. Prosecutors, on the other hand, have urged the Supreme Court not to intervene, emphasizing that there is a strong public interest in moving forward with the sentencing. They noted that the sentencing is likely to take no more than an hour, and Trump has not shown any reason why his duties as President-elect would prevent him from attending.

While Trump is not expected to serve any jail time, face fines, or be placed on probation, the case continues to unfold. We will update you as more details become available.
