And so?
New York Judge Juan Mechan WILL go ahead seal Donald J. Trump’s record as a convicted felon serving as the President of the United States…
The people’s jury verdict stands….
Trump did NOT win this one…..
The Supreme Court on Thursday denied President-elect Trump‘s request to delay his Friday sentencing in his criminal hush money case.
Why it matters: Though Trump faces no jail time for his 34 felony convictions, the Supreme Court’s decision is the final blow to his efforts to sideline his sentencing just days before he returns to the White House.
- The sentencing will formalize his status as the only living president to be convicted of a crime.
- Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to Axios’ request for comment in the evening.
Catch up quick: Trump turned to the Supreme Court in an 11th-hour attempt to halt proceedings in the case while his presidential immunity appeals play out.
- “Forcing President Trump to prepare for a criminal sentencing in a felony case while he is preparing to lead the free world as President of the United States in less than two weeks imposes an intolerable, unconstitutional burden on him that undermines these vital national interests,” Trump’s team wrote in their appeal to the Supreme Court.
- His attorneys further contended that presidential immunity should extend to presidents-elect in the “brief but crucial” time before they take office.
State of play: The 5-4 decision by the conservative-majority court all but ensures that Trump’s sentencing continues as planned for Friday.
- Chief Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, whom Trump appointed to the high court, sided with the liberal justices in making the decision….
