A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected former President Donald Trump's request to freeze a court ruling that allows his New York hush money criminal sentencing to go forward on Nov. 26.
The ruling at issue came from federal trial Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who said he wouldn't remove the case from the hands of New York trial Judge Juan Merchan and block Trump's upcoming sentencing.
In its short Thursday order, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit seconded Hellerstein's ruling. It said it was denying Trump's "emergency" request in light of the sentencing delay he has already gotten. Trump was initially scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 18, but on Sept. 6 Merchan granted the Republican presidential nominee's request to push the date back past the election.
