New York's highest court won't stop Trump's sentencing as prosecutors urge Supreme Court to stay out of fight

The highest court in New York said Thursday it would not prevent the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump for his crimes, currently scheduled for Friday.

A deputy clerk for Judge Jenny Rivera wrote in a two-sentence letter to Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, that the judge declined to intervene.

Trump was convicted last year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the so-called "hush money" case.
