Trump's arguments were "unpersuasive as no compelling factor, consideration or circumstance submitted demonstrate that imposition of sentence would result in injustice," the judge wrote.
In his 18-page ruling, State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan gave Trump the choice of appearing in person in his Manhattan courtroom or virtually.
His lawyers cited his victory, presidential immunity, and the supremacy of US law over state law.
Judge Merchan rejected that argument and set a January 10 sentencing date.
