Ten days ahead of his presidential inauguration, Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced Friday morning in New York for committing what the judge in his case characterized as a "premeditated and continuous deception" to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election.

President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sentenced Friday after being convicted of falsifying business records to cover up hush money to a porn star.

The court turned down Trump's last-minute bid to prevent his sentencing, scheduled for Friday in New York state court in Manhattan 10 days before his inauguration for his second term as president.
