Donald Trump is going to be sentenced in the “hush money” case because the top court in New York refused to put off the hearings.
People are being charged with lying about business records about payments that were made before the 2016 election. Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies after prosecutors showed that he gave permission for these lies to be told while he was in office.
The judges did not agree with Trump’s lawyers when they tried to argue for presidential protection. The Supreme Court recently refused to put off the sentence, pointing out that the lower court’s ruling did not significantly affect Trump’s duties as president-elect.
Even though Trump won’t go to jail, the decision is a major turning point in American politics. Trump called the case “politically motivated” from Mar-a-Lago, but he agreed with the court’s ruling.
Years of looking into Trump’s business dealings led to this case, which sheds light on claimed financial wrongdoing. As Trump gets ready for his second term, the court problems that have followed him around have been a big part of his political career.
