Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush Money Sentencing on January 10
Jan 6, 2025, 11:32 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's request to indefinitely postpone his sentencing in the New York hush money case was denied by Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan on Monday. The sentencing is scheduled for Friday, January 10, just over a week before Trump's inauguration. Trump's lawyers argued for a delay while they appeal Merchan's decision to uphold the verdict on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. However, the judge rejected this, stating that Trump's arguments were repetitive. Merchan has indicated that he is unlikely to impose jail time, suggesting an unconditional discharge as a potential outcome. Trump's legal team plans to appeal to a state appeals court and has suggested that Trump might appear virtually for the sentencing due to the demands of the presidential transition.
