Appeals court rejects Trump's latest motion to delay hush-money sentencing

Jan. 7 (UPI) -- A New York appeals court judge on Tuesday rejected President-elect Donald Trump's latest request to delay this week's sentencing in his hush-money case.

"After consideration of the papers submitted and the extensive oral argument, movants application for the interim stay is denied," Justice Ellen Gesmer wrote in her ruling after hearing arguments Tuesday from Trump attorney Todd Blanche and Steven Wu from the Manhattan district attorney's office over the president-elect's emergency motion filed Monday.
