|Updated:

President-Elect Donald Trump is attempting to halt proceedings in his business records case, with his attorneys stating that they intend to file an appeal to reverse a decision setting sentencing for Jan. 10.

Trump’s request came on Jan. 6, just days after New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s Jan. 3 decision to reject Trump’s request to dismiss the case.
