Trump asks the Supreme Court to block sentencing in his hush money case in New York

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST and MARK SHERMAN WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to call off Friday’s sentencing in his hush money case in New York. Trump’s lawyers turned to the nation’s highest court Wednesday after New York courts refused to postpone the sentencing by Juan M. Merchan, the judge who presided over Trump’s trial and conviction last May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump’s attorneys asked for an immediate stay of Friday’s sentencing “to prevent grave injustice and harm to the institution of the Presidency and the operations of the federal government.” Related Articles National News | Colorado legislature begins 2025 session, with budget cuts — and Trump administration — looming National News | Colorado soldier who exploded Cybertruck outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI, police say National News | Tesla data helped police after Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion, but experts have wider privacy concerns National News | Colorado soldier who blew up Cybertruck in Las Vegas told ex-girlfriend of pain and exhaustion after Afghanistan National News | Congress is ready to certify Trump’s election win, but his Jan.
