Judge denies Trump's bid to throw out hush money conviction, NY Times reports

A judge upheld Donald Trump's conviction for falsifying business records related to hush-money payments made to Stormy Daniels. Trump's lawyers argued that the case would hinder his presidency, but the judge rejected their request to overturn the verdict. The sentencing, initially scheduled for November 26, has been postponed. This marks the first criminal conviction of a U.S. president.
