New York’s highest court has rejected Donald Trump’s appeal to pause his upcoming sentencing for criminal charges related to hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The decision places the fate of the delay in the hands of the US Supreme Court. Prosecutors oppose the motion, asserting there is no basis for intervention in the trial. Trump’s legal team claims he is immune from prosecution as president-elect, but the trial court has dismissed this argument. The sentencing is scheduled just ten days before his planned inauguration.
