Mr. Trump was allowed to choose to appear in person or online at the sentencing hearing in the case of falsifying business records to pay “hush money” to star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
On January 6, New York (USA) judge Juan Merchan rejected US President-elect Donald Trump's request to postpone the January 10 sentencing hearing related to the accusation of paying "hush money".
Thus, 10 days before the inauguration, Mr. Trump will have to appear in court and is at risk of becoming the first US President to be criminally convicted.
In a two-page decision, Judge Merchan noted that Mr. Trump’s arguments did not break from the past, so prosecutors objected to the delay in sentencing and said it should proceed as planned, unless Mr. Trump successfully appealed at the last minute to a higher court.
However, the US President-elect was allowed to choose to appear in person or online at the sentencing hearing in the case of falsifying business records to pay "hush money" to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Mr. Trump's lawyers later informed Judge Merchan that Mr. Trump would attend the hearing via video conference instead of in person, due to the requirements of the presidential transition.
Last week, Judge Merchan also denied Mr. Trump’s request to vacate his sentence, but said he did not intend to impose any prison terms on the 34 counts of falsifying business records on which Mr. Trump was convicted.
