Donald Trump’s latest attempt to stop the sentencing hearing in the criminal hush-money case has been turned down by New York’s highest court. The court’s decision to deny Trump’s request is another setback for him in a series of legal defeats this week. The president-elect has been trying to get the case dismissed and his conviction overturned.

Trump filed an emergency application on Wednesday, urging the court to put an “immediate stay” on the criminal proceedings. He was seeking to overturn Acting Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s rulings, which Trump claimed wrongly dismissed his arguments of Presidential immunity.

The New York Court of Appeals’ ruling means that Friday’s sentencing hearing in the hush-money case will proceed as scheduled, with Trump facing 34 felony charges. This is part of the ongoing legal battles Trump is fighting even as he transitions to the role of president-elect.
