Justice Alito Recommended Former Clerk to Trump Before Hush Money Sentencing Appeal
Jan 9, 2025, 12:05 AM
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke with President-elect Donald Trump by phone on Tuesday to recommend a former law clerk for a position in the new administration. The call occurred just hours before Trump's legal team filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing on Friday in New York City in a criminal case arising from hush money payments. Justice Alito confirmed the conversation, stating that while he discussed his former clerk's qualifications, the pending case was not discussed.
