A sharply divided Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s final bid to put his New York hush-money case on hold, clearing the way for him to be sentenced for felony crimes days before he returns to the presidency.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg urged the Supreme Court to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to delay sentencing, dismissing claims of pre-inauguration immunity as “unprecedented.”

New York's highest court ruled on whether President-elect Donald Trump's criminal sentencing in his New York hush money case will go forward Friday.
