President-elect Donald Trump has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to postpone his sentencing in the New York business records case, scheduled for Jan. 10. This move comes after New York courts rejected his requests for a delay, including a recent denial from the state’s appeals court.
Trump’s legal team filed an emergency request with the nation’s highest court on Jan. 8, arguing that proceeding with the sentencing could cause “grave injustice and harm to the institution of the Presidency and the operations of the federal government.” The Supreme Court has requested a response from New York prosecutors by Jan. 9.
