Former US President Donald Trump is making a last-ditch effort to delay his sentencing in the hush money case. He filed an appeal to a state court, hoping to overturn a lower court ruling that set the sentencing for January 10, just days before Trump's inauguration. Trump's legal team argues that a pre-inauguration sentencing would violate presidential immunity and needs to be halted. The case stems from a $130,000 payment made by Trump's former lawyer to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to prevent her from disclosing an alleged sexual encounter with Trump before the 2016 election.

In Monday’s ruling, Justice Juan Merchan rejected a request from Trump’s lawyers to delay the sentencing while they appealed two of his previous rulings upholding the Manhattan jury’s May guilty verdict on 34 felony counts of falsifying records. Citing both presidential immunity and the demands of Trump’s impending inauguration, his lawyers on Monday morning said Merchan’s intention not to penalize Trump was “of no moment.”
The case stemmed from a $130,000 payment Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet before the 2016 election about a sexual encounter she said she had with Trump, who denies it. Trump, a Republican, defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in that election.
