SCOTUS refuses to delay Trump hush money sentencing, Live NOW from FOX

The Supreme Court on Monday turned down a plea from Missouri to block New York from imposing a gag order and sentencing former President Donald Trump in his criminal proceedings there until after the 2024 election. Trump was found guilty in May of falsifying business records to cover up a 130, 000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence before the 2016 U. S. election about a sexual encounter she has said she had with Trump years earlier. Prosecutors have said the payment was designed help Trump s chances in the 2016 election, when he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump, the Republican candidate in this year s election, denies having had sex with Daniels and has vowed to appeal his conviction after his sentencing, scheduled for September.
