On January 8, President-elect Donald Trump reportedly requested that the Supreme Court block his sentencing in the hush money case "The State of New York vs. Donald Trump" (see: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/08/trump-hush-money-sentencing-supreme-court/)

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Supreme Court of the United States issues a ruling, order, or stay or takes any other action which blocks or temporarily halts Donald Trump’s sentencing in the hush money case. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”.

Any action by the Court taken by the court before the sentencing will qualify.

 If Trump is sentenced in the Hush money case without a qualifying action by the Supreme Court, this market will resolve to “No”.

If no qualifying Supreme Court action takes place by January 20, 2025, 12:00 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Supreme Court of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Outcome: No
