Judge delays Trump sentencing in hush money case until after election
Originally set for Sept. 18, the sentencing will now take place Nov. 26.
By
Justice Juan Merchan on Friday delayed former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case until after the presidential election.
Originally set for Sept. 18, the sentencing will now take place Nov. 26, Reuters reported.
Earlier this year, a jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 payment his then-attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels.
Merchan initially set the sentencing date for July 11, but delayed it until Sept. 18, before again postponing proceedings.
The case is next set to witness a hearing on Trump’s claims to presidential immunity in light of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling. Trump has asked Merchan to toss out the guilty verdict, arguing that evidence and testimony from the trial should have been covered by immunity.
That hearing is set for Sept. 16.
