New York state's highest court declined to intervene in the sentencing in Trump's "hush money" case, which is set for Friday.

New York’s highest court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to postpone his sentencing in the hush money case, leaving the Supreme Court as Trump’s last chance to stop his Friday sentencing.

Donald J. Trump had not yet exhausted his New York appeals when he turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch move to avoid sentencing, prosecutors argued.
