President-elect Donald Trump turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch effort to stop the sentencing, citing the conservative majority’s explosive immunity opinion.

Donald Trump’s request to halt his sentencing in his New York hush money case has been denied by the Supreme Court, meaning that Trump will face sentencing on Friday, and will likely be sworn in as the first president of the United States to be a convicted felon.
