N.Y. Appellate Judge OKs Trump's Sentencing for Friday

A New York appeals court judge on Tuesday denied Donald Trump's bid for an emergency order halting the president-elect's scheduled sentencing Friday on criminal charges in the hush money case.

Justice Ellen Gesmer rejected the emergency stay request following brief arguments between Trump attorney Todd Blanche and a lawyer from the Manhattan district attorney's office.

"This is a claim that the president-elect is entitled to immunity, and there is no support for that," he said, adding that the "claim is so baseless that there is no basis for any kind of stay here."

"There is one president at a time," Wu said."

He'll get a slap on the tiny wrist, and whine about it for years.
