refractiveBREAK,
Trump was convicted in May of 34 counts of falsifying business statements related to a hush money payment.
United States President-elect Donald Trump will face a hearing on his criminal conviction in New York, just days before he is sworn in for a second term in the White House.
On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan issued a written ruling requiring Trump to appear, in person or virtually, on January 10 to receive his sentence.
Merchan also denied Trump’s offer to throw out his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump had pushed for the conviction to be overturned in light of his successful re-election bid in November’s presidential race.
More details to come.
