President-elect Donald Trump is facing sentencing for his New York hush money conviction after the nation's highest court refused to intervene.

President-elect Donald Trump is trying again to delay this week’s sentencing in his hush money case, asking a New York appeals court to intervene as he fights to avoid the finality of his conviction before he returns to the White House.

While President Harry Truman once famously remarked that the only sure way to find a friend in the American capital was to “get a dog,” President-elect Trump has chosen to keep his White House among the 55 percent of American residences that don’t have a canine companion among them.
