Excerpt:
The New York Court of Appeals has rejected a request to reschedule the sentencing of US President-elect Donald Trump. This concerns the case involving the alleged hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels, reports The Hill.
Judge Ellen Gesmer of the Court of Appeals dismissed Trump’s emergency motion to immediately halt the proceedings, which would solidify his status as a criminal before returning to the White House.
According to The Hill, Trump will most likely appeal to a panel of judges at the appellate court to stop the sentencing. At the same time, he will challenge two rulings by Judge Juan Merchan, which allow his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments to the adult film star to stand.
