Trump says he respects Supreme Court's decision to deny his request to stop sentencing, vows to appeal
Fox News
President-elect Donald Trump said he respects the Supreme Court’s decision to deny his request to stop his sentencing in New York v. Trump from moving forward, but said Thursday night he will appeal, while stressing that “lawfare" has been an “attack on the Republican Party."

Merchan, last week, said he would not sentence the president-elect to prison, but rather issue a sentence of an "unconditional discharge," which means there would be no punishment imposed.
"I’m the first president and probably one of the first candidates in history that’s under attack with a gag order where I’m not allowed to speak about something," Trump said during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago Thursday night with Republican governors. "This is a long way from finished and I respect the court’s opinion."
