Ten days ahead of his presidential inauguration, Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced Friday morning in New York for committing what the judge in his case characterized as a "premeditated and continuous deception" to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday rejected Donald Trump's eleventh-hour request to halt Friday's sentencing hearing in the president-elect's criminal hush-money case out of New York. The post Trump-appointed Justice Barrett sides with court’s liberals to allow president-elect’s sentencing in hush-money case first appeared on Law & Crime.

President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sentenced Friday after multiple attempts to delay or block the sentencing in his hush money case. Trump is trying to dismiss the proceedings by arguing that the Supreme Court’s ruling last year on presidential immunity means evidence used in the trial was improper.
