Justice Juan Merchan denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the case, saying the president-elect must appear either in-person or virtually for sentencing on Jan. 10

Donald Trump must be sentenced on Jan. 10 in the criminal case in which he was convicted on charges involving hush money paid to a porn star, a judge ruled on Friday, adding that he is not inclined to impose a jail sentence.

They suggested several options for Merchan, including delaying the sentencing until Trump, 78, leaves the White House in 2029, or guaranteeing a sentence that would not involve prison time. Trump pleaded not guilty and called the case an attempt by Bragg, a Democrat, to harm his 2024 campaign. Falsifying business records is punishable by up to four years in prison, but incarceration is not required.
