Supreme Court REJECTS FELON TRUMP-Criminal Hush Money Sentencing To Go Ahead
US Supreme Court Rejects TRUMP Bid to Call Off Sentencing in Criminal Hush-Money Case
This Means The GUILTY Judgment Remains on Trumps Record And He Will Remain a FELON
President-elect had sought to overturn New York appeals court ruling but sentencing will go ahead TODAY
The Guardian 10 JAN 2025
Middle Finger to Trump
Desperate to avoid being sentenced on the 34 felony counts of which was found guilty, Trump had asked the Supreme Court to let him off the hook, and he had a chat on the phone with Justice Sam Alito before doing so.
Trumps ploy didnt work.
The US supreme court on Thursday declined to delay Donald Trumps upcoming sentencing in his hush-money case. Trump had asked the US highest legal body to call off Fridays sentencing after New York courts refused to postpone it.
Judge Juan Merchan presided over Trumps trial and conviction last May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the criminal hush-money scheme designed to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election
Clever Judge Merchan said last week that he was not inclined to sentence Trump to prison and the likelihood is that he will be granted an unconditional discharge.
This means the guilty judgment remains on Trumps record and he will remain a FELON, but will avoid punishment in the form of custody, a fine or probation.
The supreme courts nine justices on Thursday voted by five to four to deny Trumps last-minute bid to prevent his sentencing, which is scheduled for Friday at 9.30am local time in New York state court in Manhattan.
The chief justice, John Roberts, and fellow conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the courts three liberal-leaning justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, in the courts majority in denying Trumps request.
CORRUPT Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh said they would have granted Trumps request.
Trump had originally pleaded not guilty in the case, where the court heard that he paid off adult film actor Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election to stop her revealing an alleged affair with him years before, and then tried to disguise the payment.
Trump presses on with a state court appeal to resolve questions of presidential immunity following the supreme courts highly controversial ruling last July granting former presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution for their official acts ? the scope of which is open to legal interpretation.
