Trump faces sentencing Friday for his New York hush-money conviction after the nation's highest court refused to intervene.

Trump, who is expected to appear by video from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, will have the opportunity to speak. He has pilloried the case, the only one of his four criminal indictments that has gone to trial and possibly the only one that ever will.

Trump's lawyers tried unsuccessfully to forestall a trial. Since his May conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records, they have pulled virtually every legal lever within reach to try to get the conviction overturned, the case dismissed or at least the sentencing postponed.

Trump to be Sentenced in 'Hush Money' Case Despite Supreme Court AppealDonald Trump will face sentencing on Friday in New York for his 'hush money' conviction, after the US Supreme Court rejected his last-minute request to delay the proceedings.
