Supreme Court rejects Trump bid to halt sentencing in hush money case

Category: Politics

The US Supreme Court denied President-elect Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing in a hush-money case, ruling 5-4 against his application. Trump was found guilty of falsifying records related to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. Despite his claims of injustice, the court stated that his concerns could be addressed during an appeal and that attending sentencing was not a significant burden. Trump's legal team had previously sought to argue for presidential immunity in this case, but the court rejected these claims, emphasizing the importance of accountability.
