Trump asks the Supreme Court to block Friday's sentencing in his New York hush money case

^{Published on 2025-01-08 11:20:46 - PBS}

Trump's lawyers turned to the nation's highest court Wednesday after New York courts refused to postpone the sentencing by the judge who presided over Trump's trial and conviction in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Donald Trump has requested that the U.S. Supreme Court intervene to block his sentencing scheduled for Friday in a New York hush money case, where he was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. This request comes after the New York Court of Appeals declined to hear his appeal, leaving him with limited options to delay the sentencing. Trump's legal team argues that the conviction should be overturned due to alleged errors in the trial process, including issues with jury instructions and the statute of limitations. The case revolves around payments made to silence potentially damaging stories during the 2016 presidential campaign. If the Supreme Court does not act, Trump faces the possibility of jail time or other penalties, which could impact his ongoing political activities and the 2024 presidential election.
