Judge Delays Trump's Sentencing in Hush Money Case

News summary

A New York judge has adjourned Donald Trump's sentencing for his 34 felony convictions related to falsifying business records in the hush-money case, originally set for November 26, without providing an explanation. Judge Juan Merchan's decision comes as he awaits input from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg regarding the impact of Trump's recent presidential election victory and the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. Trump's legal team has been pushing for the charges to be dismissed, arguing that recent developments strengthen their case. The adjournment follows prior delays, including a request for a stay on the case's deadlines, as the judge considers how to proceed. Trump's conviction stemmed from a jury's finding of guilty in May for falsifying business records relating to payments to an adult film star. The ongoing legal battles could be affected significantly by Trump's electoral success, complicating the proceedings further.
