Summary
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to delay his sentencing in the New York hush money case.
Trump was convicted of falsifying business records tied to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
The majority, including Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett, ruled the sentencing won’t interfere with the presidential transition since no jail time is expected.
Trump plans to appeal, claiming presidential immunity.
The ruling highlights ongoing legal challenges as Trump prepares to return to the White House.
So the charges are state not federal, but with him being convicted, could he once again potentially be impeached for this?
The Republicans will have majorities in the House and the Senate, so even if he could be impeached there’s no chance of it happening before midterms.
