On January 10, the US President-elect Trump attended the New York court online for the hush money case. (Jinshi) It was previously reported that Trump may be sentenced before taking office as US President. On January 8, Alan Gesmer, a judge of the US Court of Appeals in New York, rejected the latest request of President-elect Trump to postpone the sentencing process of his hush money case. It is less than two weeks before Trump takes office as president. If the sentencing is not completed before the start of his second term on January 20, the presidential immunity may postpone the case until he leaves office. The court ruling means that Trump's sentencing is still scheduled for January 10. However, Trump and his legal team said they will continue to seek legal means to postpone or cancel the sentencing.
