President-elect Donald Trump's legal battle continues as a New York appeals court hears his request to postpone his sentencing in the hush money case. The hearing took place in Manhattan following Trump's emergency request to delay his sentencing scheduled for Friday. This request came after Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump's demand to halt the sentencing.
The New York Appellate Division, First Department, held a hearing on Trump's emergency request at 12:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Trump is appealing his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records, citing the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling and his current status as president-elect as grounds for dismissal.
