Donald Trump's appeal to suspend the January 10 sentence in the criminal case of sealing fees was rejected, but as he prepares to be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States later this month, he has more options to stop the proceedings. Trump requested the suspension of the January 10 verdict in the sealing fee case. A New York Court of Appeals judge on Tuesday rejected Trump's last-minute request to postpone the verdict while trying to overturn the guilty verdict. The decision was announced after a hearing where Justice Ellen Gesmer expressed deep doubts about Trump's claims. Trump can still appeal to the New York State Supreme Court or even the Federal Court of Appeals, which could take the matter to the US Supreme Court.
