The Supreme Court on Thursday denied President-elect Donald Trump’s request to stay his sentencing in the Manhattan “hush money” case.
In a 5-4 decision, the high court ruled that the “burden” the sentencing would impose on Trump’s White House transition responsibilities would be minimal and that any complaints the president-elect has with “evidentiary violations” in the case could be dealt with by lower courts.
Trump’s hearing is scheduled for Friday morning, where he is set to face a no-punishment sentence.
