Justices Barrett and Roberts side with liberals to deny sentencing delay in Trump hush-money case
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against a bid from the attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump to delay the sentencing in the case involving hush money paid to adult movie worker Stormy Daniels.Yesterday, the court ruled in a narrow 5-4 vote against Trump.
"First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump's state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect's responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court's stated intent to impose a sentence of 'unconditional discharge' after a brief virtual hearing," read the ruling.
Trump will face sentencing at 9:30 ET, although he will be allowed to attend the ruling via video conference. Merchan is determined to make Trump a felon.
