Trump Sentencing Postponed by Manhattan Prosecutors

The Manhattan District Attorney's office has agreed to postpone sentencing for President-elect Donald Trump in his hush money case until after his upcoming presidential term, acknowledging that the conviction may not be resolved before then. Trump's legal team is pushing to have the conviction dismissed entirely, contending that the case has been politically motivated. The DA's office maintains that Trump's felony conviction should remain valid, despite ongoing legal maneuvers by Trump's lawyers. If the conviction stands, Trump could face the unprecedented situation of being a convicted felon while serving as president. This development follows a jury's May conviction of Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made during the 2016 election. Trump's team has characterized the DA's move as a significant victory, further complicating the legal landscape as Trump prepares for his second term.
