New York’s highest court rejects Trump’s bid to postpone sentencing in hush money case

New York's highest court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump's bid to postpone his sentencing in the hush money case, leaving the US Supreme Court as his last chance to delay Friday's scheduled hearing.
 
Trump appealed to both the Supreme Court and the New York Court of Appeals to try to block state Judge Juan Merchan from imposing a sentence in the hush money case, where Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
 
In a two-sentence letter Thursday from the Court of Appeals, Trump's attorneys were notified that Judge Jenny Rivera denied Trump's request.
