A New York appeals court judge has swiftly rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to postpone his Friday sentencing in the hush money case. The decision was made by Associate Justice Ellen Gesmer following a brief hearing on the matter Tuesday afternoon.
Trump had requested to stay the proceedings in the hush money case, including his sentencing scheduled for Friday, while he appeals his conviction. This request came after Judge Juan Merchan, the trial judge, had denied Trump’s demand to stop the sentencing.
