Summary

New York judge Juan Merchan denied Donald Trump’s request to delay his sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, set for January 10, 2025, just 10 days before his inauguration.

Trump argued for a delay based on pending immunity appeals, but the court rejected the claim, citing repetitive arguments and delays caused by Trump himself.

Prosecutors noted the timing avoids potential legal complications during his presidency.

The judge plans to sentence Trump to an unconditional discharge, leaving him a convicted felon without further punishment.

The case involves hush money payments from 2016.
