Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Request

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to delay Donald Trump's sentencing for felony charges related to hush money payments. The decision arose from a lawsuit by Missouri claiming the case infringed on voters' rights to hear from the Republican presidential nominee before the Nov. 5 election.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to halt Donald Trump's upcoming sentencing for his conviction in state court in New York on felony charges involving hush money paid to a porn star and a related gag order until after the Nov. 5 election.

The decision by the justices came in response to a lawsuit by the state of Missouri claiming that the case against Trump infringed on the right of voters under the U.S. Constitution to hear from the Republican presidential nominee as he seeks to regain the White House.
