New York Appeals Court Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush Money Sentencing on Friday, January 10
Jan 7, 2025, 12:15 PM
A New York appeals court judge has denied President-elect Donald Trump's latest request to delay his sentencing in the hush money case, scheduled for Friday, January 10. This decision follows an emergency hearing where Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, argued for a delay citing presidential immunity. However, Judge Ellen Gesmer rejected the request, marking the second time in two days that Trump's bid to postpone the sentencing was denied. Trump's sentencing remains on track, despite his legal team's efforts to appeal Judge Juan M. Merchan's decision to uphold the conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Merchan has indicated that he is likely to sentence Trump to an unconditional discharge, which would close the case without jail time, a fine, or probation.
