US President-elect Donald Trump is appearing virtually in a New York courtroom to be sentenced for his hush money conviction, 10 days before he is inaugurated.

Trump, seated in a dark suit, appeared on a video feed from his Florida club, seated with one of his lawyers, as his sentencing hearing began on Friday after the nation’s highest court refused to intervene.
