Court rejects Trump’s appeal to postpone sentencing in hush-money case ahead of second presidential term

[Collection]A New York judge has rejected President-elect Donald Trump's bid to delay his sentencing in a hush-money case, scheduled just days before his inauguration. Judge Juan Merchan upheld his earlier decision despite Trump's legal team's appeals. Trump, convicted of falsifying business records in 2023, faces sentencing on January 10, 2025, though jail time is unlikely.
