WASHINGTON: New York’s highest court has rejected Donald Trump’s appeal to postpone his sentencing in the hush money case. Judge Jenny Rivera dismissed Trump’s request, clearing the way for his sentencing on Friday. This follows Trump’s May conviction for 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Supreme Court Involvement
Trump’s legal team also approached the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to halt the sentencing. The outcome remains uncertain. Judge Juan Merchan previously ruled he would impose no penalties on Trump, despite the conviction.
Trump’s Virtual Appearance Anticipated
Trump is expected to attend the sentencing virtually, barring unforeseen developments. This case continues to unfold as Trump prepares to retake the presidency.
The conviction and pending sentencing highlight the legal challenges facing Trump amid his political comeback efforts.
