@washingtonpost: Friday, January 10, 2025 is a big day for President-elect Trump. He is set to become the first serving felon president, following his sentencing in the hush money case. The judge overseeing his case on Monday rejected a request by Trump lawyers to delay sentencing this week pending an appeal. Also on Friday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments over a law requiring TikTok to break ties with its Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance, or face a U.S. ban. Trump has asked the justices to put a pause on the ban so he could weigh in after he takes office. In a brief — written by his pick for solicitor general — Trump called the First Amendment implications of a TikTok ban “sweeping and troubling” and said he wants a “negotiated resolution” to the issue, something the Biden administration had pursued to no avail. Finally, special counsel’s Jack Smith report detailing the findings of his two investigations of the incoming president is set to be released ahead of Trump’s inauguration. Donald Trump’s lawyers have read the draft report and are urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to fire Smith and block the report’s public release.
