The sentence of the first trial in the case of "the payment of money for the gag of sex scandal," which U.S. President-elect Donald Trump was convicted of, will take place today (10th) as scheduled.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Trump's emergency request to postpone the sentencing trial by a 5-4 decision among nine justices.

As a result, Judge Juan Merchant of Manhattan Criminal Court in New York is expected to sentence Trump today as scheduled.

Judge Merchant allowed Trump to attend the trial face-to-face.

The sentence will take place just 10 days before Trump's inauguration.

Earlier, Judge Merchant confirmed that Trump was guilty, but hinted at a plan to sentence him to "unconditional release" in consideration of complex constitutional issues in the event of a conflict between the president's term and punishment.

Just before the 2016 presidential election, Trump was indicted on charges of manipulating related company accounting records by handing over $130,000 and 190 million won to former adult movie star Stormy Daniels to prevent past sexual intercourse revelations, and was convicted by a jury in May on all 34 charges.
