Judge Rejects Trump's Appeal; President-elect to Be Sentenced January 10 in Hush Money Case
Jan 4, 2025, 01:27 PM
President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sentenced on January 10 in New York after being convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an alleged affair. Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump's request to overturn the conviction and ordered him to appear for sentencing, either in person or virtually, in consideration of his transition to the White House. The judge indicated he is not inclined to impose jail time. The sentencing, scheduled just ten days before Trump's inauguration on January 20, marks an unprecedented scenario in U.S. history. Trump has dismissed the upcoming sentencing as an 'illegitimate political attack' and a 'rigged charade.'
