The Supreme Court on Thursday night denied President-elect Donald Trump’s last minute request to block sentencing in his hush money case.
Trump is expected to face sentencing on Friday.
“The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied for … the following reasons,” the order said. “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.”
