Trump. <br>Judge Juan Merchan set Trump's sentencing in New York v. Trump for Jan. 10 after a jury found the now-president-elect guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree, stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges and has appealed the ruling but was rejected last week by Merchan. <br><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-judge-sets-trump-sentencing-days-before-inauguration" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>NEW YORK JUDGE SETS TRUMP SENTENCING DAYS BEFORE INAUGURATION</u></strong></a><br>"President Trump’s legal team filed an emergency petition with the United States Supreme Court, asking the Court to correct the unjust actions by New York courts and stop the unlawful sentencing in the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt," Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital. <br>"The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the Constitution, and established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed." <br>Cheung said the "American People elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate that demands an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and all of the remaining Witch Hunts." <br>He added, "We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration as President Trump makes America great again."<br><span>Former President Donald Trump, left, attends the first day of his trial at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on April 15.

"As discussed herein, this Court should order an immediate stay of criminal proceedings against President Trump in the New York trial court, including but not limited to the criminal sentencing hearing scheduled for January 10, 2025, at 9:30 a.m." <br>New York has to file a written response by Thursday at 10:00 a.m. <br><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/judge-denies-trump-motion-stop-ny-criminal-case-sentencing" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>JUDGE DENIES TRUMP MOTION TO STOP NY CRIMINAL CASE SENTENCING</strong></a><br>The filing to the United States Supreme Court comes after a judge in New York on Tuesday denied Trump's motion to stay the Jan. 10 sentencing, which is currently set for Friday, Jan. 10 at 9:30 a.m. <br><span>U.S. Supreme Court.</span> <span>(Howard/Bloomberg via Getty Images)</span><br>Merchan set the sentencing date last week but said he will not sentence the president-elect to prison. <br>Merchan wrote in his decision that he is not likely to "impose any sentence of incarceration," but rather a sentence of an "unconditional discharge," which means there would be no punishment imposed. <br><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/apps-products?pid=AppArticleLink" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP</u></strong></a> <br>Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Jan. 20. <br>Trump has maintained his innocence in the case and repeatedly railed against it as an example of "lawfare" promoted by Democrats in an effort to hurt his election efforts ahead of November. <br><i>Fox News' Shannon Bream and Bill Mears contributed to this report. </i><br>Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.<br>Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.<br>By entering your email and clicking the Subscribe button, you agree to the Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/terms-of-use">Terms of Use</a>, and agree to receive content and promotional communications from Fox News.
