Trump vows to appeal after Supreme Court denies his request to halt sentencing.

Donald Trump, the president-elect, stated that he respects the Supreme Court's decision to proceed with his sentencing in New York v. Trump, but he will appeal, while emphasizing that "lawfare" has been an "attack on the Republican Party."

Trump's comments were made right after the Supreme Court rejected his request to halt his sentencing, which was set by New York Judge Juan Merchan on January 10th.

Last week, Merchan stated that he would not sentence the president-elect to prison, but instead give an "unconditional discharge," meaning no punishment would be imposed.

"Trump, the first president and possibly one of the first candidates in history to be under attack with a gag order, stated during a meeting with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago Thursday night that he is not allowed to speak about something. He added, "This is a long way from finished, and I respect the court's opinion.""

Trump stated that he believed the court's decision was a positive outcome for him, as the justices had invited an appeal.

""I believe it will turn out successfully," he remarked."

Trump stated that the "lawfare" he has experienced is an attack on the Republican Party.

"The Republican candidate who won the election with a record number of votes and all swing states, and also won the popular vote by millions, was attacked by those who tried to prevent the election from happening or harm the candidate."

We won by the largest number because the people understood, according to Trump.

On Wednesday, Trump submitted an urgent request to the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his scheduled January 10 sentencing, which was ordered by Judge Juan Merchan.

The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and referred to the Court is denied due to the following reasons: firstly, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump's state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal.

The court ruled that the burden of sentencing on the President-Elect is relatively insignificant compared to the trial court's intention to impose an unconditional discharge after a brief virtual hearing.

The four justices, namely Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh, would approve the request.

The order's note indicates that Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Katanji Brown Jackson voted with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett to grant Trump's request.

The proceeding for Trump's sentencing, scheduled for 9:30 am Friday, is expected to move forward with the president-elect appearing virtually.

Merchan, the judge presiding over Trump's case in New York v. Trump, set the sentencing date for January 10th after a jury found the president-elect guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree. Despite pleading not guilty and appealing the ruling, Trump's appeal was rejected last week by Merchan.

On January 20, the 47th President of the United States will be sworn in.

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in the case and has repeatedly criticized it as an instance of "lawfare" orchestrated by Democrats to harm his re-election campaign in November.
