President-elect Donald Trump lost a bid on Thursday to delay his sentencing in his criminal case by the highest court in New York, while a similar appeal is still pending at the Supreme Court.
Less than 24 hours ago, Trump filed an urgent petition to the New York Court of Appeals, seeking to pause the hush money case that resulted in his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Simultaneously, he asked the Supreme Court to intervene and delay the sentencing.
