Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says he spoke with Trump about clerk before hush-money filing

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke with President-elect Donald Trump about a former law clerk the day before Trump went to the high court in a push to delay the sentencing in his New York hush-money case, the justice said Wednesday. Alito said he took the call Tuesday afternoon from Trump at the request of his former law clerk, William Levi, to recommend him for a job in the upcoming administration. Trump’s attorneys are asking the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records connected to a hush-money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels. His attorneys argue the sentencing could disrupt the presidential transition and would violate the Supreme Court’s previous ruling on immunity for former presidents in another case against Trump.
