A divided Supreme Court has rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to block his sentencing on his criminal conviction in the Manhattan hush money case, refusing to spare him from an embarrassing distraction just days before he’s scheduled to be inaugurated for his second term.
The high court’s snubbing of Trump, by a 5-4 vote, clears the way for a hearing Friday to finalize his conviction on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records to cover up a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Trump is now virtually certain to make history as the first convicted felon to become president.
