Justice Juan Merchan of New York has made a significant ruling by deciding not to postpone the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump in his high-profile felony hush money case, which is scheduled for this Friday. The judge assessed Trump’s pleas for a delay as mere echoes of previously raised arguments, lacking in fresh substance.
However, in a pivotal and resolute move, Justice Merchan firmly rejected the defendant’s plea to halt the legal proceedings, including the imminent sentencing hearing slated for January 10, 2025.
Trump’s legal team, in their legal filings, vigorously advocated for the dismissal of what they perceived as a politically motivated prosecution right from the outset, aiming to secure a hearing with the appellate court to challenge the case’s validity.

Despite Trump’s consistent denial of any wrongdoing and his assertions of presidential immunity, his efforts to impede the legal process have proven futile in the face of judicial scrutiny.
In conclusion, the charges levelled against Trump revolve around his alleged involvement in manipulating business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money transaction to an adult film star, which was falsely categorised as legitimate expenses.
