President-elect Donald J. Trump is set to become the first American president to be criminally sentenced, formalizing his status as a felon.
The sentencing stems from Trump's conviction on charges of falsifying records related to a sex scandal that threatened his first presidential campaign.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied Trump's request for a stay on the sentencing, marking a surprising independence from a court that has often supported him.
The rejection of the stay represents a significant victory for Manhattan district attorney Alvin L. Bragg, underscoring the importance of the prosecution in his career.
