President-elect Trump Files Emergency Petition to Supreme Court to Block Friday's Hush Money Sentencing
Jan 8, 2025, 01:41 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has filed an emergency petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to block his upcoming sentencing in his New York criminal hush money case, which is scheduled for Friday, January 10. Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to an adult-film star. His legal team argues that the sentencing violates legal precedent and constitutional principles, asserting it would interfere with his duties as president-elect and cause 'grave injustice and harm' to the presidency. The request comes after New York courts refused to delay the proceedings.
