The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to delay his sentencing in a New York hush money case. Trump’s legal team argued he was immune from prosecution during the presidential transition, citing “presidential immunity.” Despite this, the court declined to intervene.
In May 2024, Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide hush money payments during his 2016 campaign. His sentencing is set for Friday, where Trump is expected to appear virtually, marking the first time a president-elect faces sentencing as a convicted felon.
