New York, Jan 6 (AP) President-elect Donald Trump asked a judge Monday to halt this week's sentencing in his hush money case while they appeal a ruling upholding the verdict.
Trump's lawyers said they plan to ask a state appeals court to reverse Judge Juan M Merchan decision last week, which set the case for sentencing on Friday.
Merchan rejected Trump's bid to throw out the verdict and dismiss the indictment in light of his impending return to the White House. Trump's lawyers argued that their appeal should trigger what's known as an automatic stay, or pause, in the proceedings. (AP)
