A New York appeals court today rejected US President-elect Donald Trump's latest bid to delay sentencing in the "hush money" case. This was reported by the Associated Press, quoted by BTA.
A New York appeals court judge denied Trump's request for an injunction to delay the sentencing while he appeals last week's ruling that upheld the original conviction.
The sentencing remains scheduled for Friday, although Trump can still seek the intervention of other courts.
Judge Ellen Jesmer issued her decision without detailed explanation after an emergency hearing in the New York State Court of Appeals. Trump did not attend the hearing.
