Donald Trump has filed an emergency application with the United States Supreme Court to halt the sentencing expected in his hush money trial, scheduled for this Friday. Trump’s attorneys previously failed to stop the sentencing at a lower court. Convicted on 34 counts related to concealing $130,000 paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election, Trump aims to avoid being the first convicted felon to assume the presidency. His legal team seeks to overturn the conviction and delay the sentencing process.
