Trump's request for postponement of 'mouthed money' ruling is rejected...Sentencing as scheduled on the 10th.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's request to postpone the sentencing of the "Porno Actor's Muzzled Money" case scheduled for the 10th local time has been rejected.

President-elect Trump was convicted by a jury in May last year over the case, but the sentence has been delayed until the 10th.

According to foreign media such as the AP, Reuters and Bloomberg, acting judge Juan Merchant of New York State's first trial court on the 6th local time rejected Trump's request for postponement and said he would sentence him on the 10th as scheduled.

Earlier, the first trial court made a decision to maintain the jury's guilty verdict on the 3rd, and the defendant, Trump, filed an appeal to the state's second trial court on the 6th, and submitted an application to the first trial court to "delay the sentence of the first trial indefinitely until the outcome of the appeal is reached."

As the request for postponement of the first trial was rejected, the possibility of the sentence proceeding as scheduled on the 10th became a little greater.

The appeal was received, but the second trial court has not yet set a date for the appeal hearing.

However, it is not theoretically impossible for Trump to file an appeal separately to the second trial court or request the intervention of other courts, including the Supreme Court, with the aim of "reversing the first trial court's decision to reject the postponement."

President-elect Trump has expressed his intention to overturn the conviction by all legal means.

After the decision to dismiss the application for a postponement of the sentence was made, Trump protested the decision of the first trial court, saying on his social media Truth Social, "If the decision to maintain the guilty verdict is confirmed, it will be the end of the presidency as we know it."

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which indicted Trump, maintained that the first trial should be sentenced as scheduled.

The conviction Trump received in May last year held Trump criminally responsible for paying $130,000 (170 million won) to porn actress Stormy Daniels through his lawyer in exchange for a sex scandal in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.

At the time, the source of the funds was a Trump-run company, and the conviction was based on Trump's falsification of business records to hide it.

Trump has pleaded not guilty and has refused to admit allegations that he had sex with Daniels.

The first trial court ruled on the 3rd that the most reasonable solution was to sentence him to "unconditional release" which confirms his guilt but does not punish him at all.

This is to implement justice but not to interfere with Trump's job performance as a presidential prospective, the first trial court explained.

If the sentence is delayed again, the first trial court noted, it would have a difficult result of the case being held in uncertain condition by 2029, when Trump leaves office.

The Korean version of "Guidelines for Criminal Defendants," compiled jointly by the New York City Lawyers Association and the Lawyers Association and posted on the New York State Court site, explains that "unconditional release" is a type of conviction, but "a sentence that does not require imprisonment or other conditions," and that such a sentence "will be released without any conditions."

In response to the first trial's "unconditional release" ruling, Trump's lawyers have expressed their intention to continue the court battle, arguing that it goes against a July precedent that broadly recognized the president's immunity.
