Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

President-elect Donald Trump faces sentencing on January 10 for felony charges linked to hush money payments, as Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan denies requests for postponement. Trumps' attorneys claim presidential immunity, but the court emphasizes a public interest in finality. Following a guilty verdict for falsifying business records, Trump is set to become the first president to assume office with a criminal conviction. He may appear virtually at sentencing, which will likely lead to long-term appeals and complex legal challenges during his term.
