President-elect Donald Trump has filed an appeal to halt his sentencing in the Manhattan hush money case, aiming to delay the process just before his inauguration.
Judge Juan Merchan has rejected Trump's effort to postpone the sentencing hearing on grounds of presidential immunity, confirming that the hearing is set to proceed.
Trump faces 34 felony convictions related to payoffs to silence allegations during the 2016 election, signaling a significant legal challenge for the president-elect.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office plans to oppose Trump's motion to delay the sentencing which is currently set for January 10.
