In a singular moment in U.S. history, President-elect Donald Trump faces sentencing Friday for his New York hush money conviction after the nation’s highest court refused to intervene. Like so much else in the criminal case and the current American political landscape,

The sentencing comes 10 days before Donald Trump is due to be sworn in for a second non-consecutive term in the White House.

President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced in his hush money criminal case Friday after the Supreme Court refused to pause it, the first-ever sentencing of a former president on criminal charges—though Trump will likely face few, if any, penalties, and is all but certain not to be sentenced to prison.

The US president-elect was convicted for falsifying business records relating to a payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.

President-elect Trump is scheduled to be sentenced Friday morning in his New York hush money case at a 9:30 am ET hearing. Why it matters: With the proceeding, Trump will become the first former president sentenced for a crime, but he is expected to avoid time behind bars or any significant punishment for his historic felony conviction.

President-elect Donald Trump turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch effort to stop the sentencing, citing the conservative majority’s explosive immunity opinion.

The Supreme Court refused to block President-elect Donald Trump’s criminal sentencing for covering up hush money paid to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, clearing the way for an unprecedented court proceeding in New York.

Donald Trump is to learn his sentence over his hush money conviction, in a historic court ruling just 10 days before he is due to take office for his second term as president.

The court’s 5-4 order Thursday clears the way for Judge Juan M. Merchan to impose a sentence Friday on Trump, who was convicted in what prosecutors called an attempt to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels.
