The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to overturn Trump's sentencing.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to overturn the sentencing of elected President Donald Trump in a New York court regarding payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, reports ABC.

Specifically, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Republican-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied Trump's request. The court noted that the alleged violations concerning the evidence presented in the trial against the politician could be addressed through the normal appeals process.

Trump has been accused of falsifying documents related to payments made to two women, including former adult film star Daniels, in exchange for their silence regarding their alleged affair. According to investigators, the politician had a relationship with Daniels in 2006, and ten years later, during his first presidential campaign, instructed his lawyer Michael Cohen to sign a nondisclosure agreement with her. In return, Daniels received $130,000 from the lawyer.

On January 8, Trump filed an emergency petition with the Supreme Court, seeking to prevent the sentencing in this case. A hearing regarding the forgery of financial documents related to the deal with Daniels is scheduled for January 10.

In May, jurors found Trump guilty on all 34 counts. However, sentencing has been postponed several times, and on November 22, Judge Merchan deferred it indefinitely. At the end of November, charges against Trump in federal cases were dropped.
