New York prosecutors have urged the U.S. Supreme Court to dismiss President-elect Trump's plea to delay his criminal sentencing.
The prosecutors labeled Trump's request as premature, stating he had not exhausted state court appeals prior to this action.
Trump's conviction stems from charges related to falsifying records during his 2016 campaign, linked to a sex scandal.
Following multiple failures in state court, Trump's case is now presented to a conservative-majority Supreme Court that includes justices he appointed.
This situation could influence whether Trump assumes the presidency as a felon, pending the Supreme Court's decision.
