Supreme Court declines to block Trump's looming sentencing hearing

A divided Supreme Court has denied President-elect Donald Trump's request to block his looming sentencing hearing, scheduled for Friday in his New York hush-money case.

Four conservative justices on the court said they would have granted Trump's emergency request to block his sentencing, USA Today reported: Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.

Prosecutors called it an "extraordinary" request," according to the report.
