New York’s high court on Thursday declined to halt President-elect Trump’s sentencing on his hush money criminal conviction, which is scheduled for Friday morning.
In a terse note, the New York Court of Appeals’s chief clerk notified Trump’s attorneys that Judge Jenny Rivera declined to sign an order stopping the sentencing from moving forward, as the president-elect appeals and claims he is immune and the prosecution must be dismissed.
“As a result of the Judge’s determination, no motion is pending in the above title at the Court of Appeals,” the clerk wrote.
