New York's highest court has ruled against Donald Trump's request to block the sentencing in his hush-money case, meaning his options may now lead to the US Supreme Court.
Despite Trump's legal team's efforts, the New York court of appeals issued a brief order denying the request for a hearing, effectively allowing the sentencing to proceed.
Trump's lawyers argued unsuccessfully in lower courts for a postponement of the sentencing, which follows his conviction on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records.
With the New York court's decision, Trump has limited routes left, having turned to the US Supreme Court for potential intervention before his scheduled sentencing.
