Donald Trump has filed an emergency petition with the US Supreme Court to postpone his sentencing in the New York hush money case, scheduled for Friday. Trump's lawyers argue that the sentencing could harm the presidency and federal government. Trump insists he is innocent and claims the case is politically motivated.
: Donald Trump has made a last ditch effort to quash his criminal conviction before he returns to the White House, asking the US Supreme Court to prevent him being sentenced for falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal with a porn star.
The Supreme Court - which is dominated by conservative judges, including three appointed during Trump’s first term - is Trump’s last avenue to thwart the hush money case. If he is unsuccessful, he will have to appear for sentencing either virtually or in person at 9:30am on Friday . While the payment was brokered before Trump won the 2016 election, his lawyers argue that some evidence at trial focused on official actions he took while he was in power during his first term.
