The United States Supreme Court has rejected president-elect Donald Trump's last-minute bid to prevent his sentencing in his hush-money case scheduled for Friday.
Trump was found guilty of falsifying records to disguise reimbursements for a hush money payment to an adult film star as legal expenses in 2016.
The court ruled 5 to 4 against granting Trump’s request to delay his sentencing, with two of the Supreme Court's conservative justices joining the three liberals in the majority.
In response, the president-elect says he respects the Supreme Court's opinion, and also talks about appealing the case.
The trial judge says he is not inclined to sentence the Republican president-elect to prison and would likely grant him unconditional discharge. This would place a guilty judgment on Trump's record, but would not impose custody, a fine or probation.
