HuffPost
The president-elect was convicted in May, but his sentencing has been delayed for months.
The New York judge overseeing President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money trial has ordered him to appear for his long-delayed sentencing hearing on Jan. 10, more than seven months after he was convicted on all 34 felony counts against him.
The unprecedented sentence will be handed down 10 days before Trump is to be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.
