Although he’s expected to appeal the conviction, President-elect Trump was ordered by New York Judge Merchan to attend a sentencing hearing for the hush money case on January 10th. Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman shares his thoughts on Merchan’s decision and if Trump really is getting off with no punishment.
President-elect Donald Trump is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his New York state hush money sentencing that’s scheduled for Friday. Prosecutors have until 10:00 a.m. ET on Thursday to respond to the emergency filing, so we could learn after the state responds whether the high court will block Trump’s sentencing.

Trump’s lead counsel on the filing is John Sauer, Trump’s pick for solicitor general . Sauer argued last year’s immunity case on Trump's behalf.
