Trump --Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Jan. 20 | 9 Jan 2025 | The United States Supreme Court has denied President-elect Trump's petition to block his Friday sentencing in New York v. Trump. Trump filed an emergency petition to the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday in an effort to prevent his Jan. 10 sentencing, scheduled by Judge Juan Merchan, from taking place. Now, sentencing in New York v. Trump can move forward, with the president-elect expected to appear virtually for the proceeding, scheduled for 9:30 am Friday.  ...Trump's attorneys argued that New York prosecutors erroneously admitted extensive evidence relating to official presidential acts during trial, ignoring the high court's ruling on presidential immunity.
