In the U.S., a court denied the request to postpone the sentencing of Trump.

The New York appellate court has declined to reschedule the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump. This pertains to the case regarding the bribery of a porn star.

This information was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing The Hill.

Judge Ellen Gesmer from the appellate court rejected Trump's urgent motion for an immediate halt to the legal proceedings, which are set to confirm his status as an offender before he returns to the White House.

According to the publication, Trump is now likely to appeal to the appellate court to stop the sentencing. At the same time, he is contesting two decisions made by Judge Juan Merchan, which allow his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments to the porn star to stand.

Trump has requested that the hearing be scheduled for January 27, a week after the inauguration, when the case is expected to be frozen.

Trump's Sentencing

As a reminder, a jury found Donald Trump guilty of bribing porn star Stormy Daniels for her silence.

Now, on January 10, the New York State Supreme Court is expected to announce Trump's sentence. Acting Supreme Court Justice of New York State Juan Merchan has ruled that the President-elect must appear at the court hearing.

Merchan also refused to dismiss the case due to Trump's victory in the presidential elections.
