On January 7 local time, USA's New York Court of Appeals Judge Alan Gotsmer rejected the latest request by President-elect Trump to postpone the sentencing proceedings in his "hush money" case. Trump's lawyers claimed that as President-elect, Trump has the same immunity from criminal prosecution as the President, but this view was rejected by the court. With less than two weeks until Trump takes office, if the sentencing is not completed before January 20, when his second term begins, presidential immunity could delay the case until after he leaves office. The court's ruling means that Trump's sentencing is still scheduled for January 10. However, Trump and his legal team stated that they will continue to seek legal avenues to postpone or cancel the sentencing. (CCTV News)
