The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Donald Trump's emergency appeal to halt his criminal sentencing related to his conviction for falsifying business records. The court's 5-4 ruling allows sentencing to proceed, which will happen just days before his inauguration as president. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments. The sentencing is expected to result in an 'unconditional discharge,' meaning no prison time for Trump. Despite the setback, he continues to prepare for his presidency, advocating for easing crypto regulations and appointing Paul Atkins as head of the SEC, aiming to support the crypto industry and roll back restrictions. Trump denounces the charges as politically motivated and continues to express confidence in his legal efforts.
