Trump Sentencing Adjourned Following Reelection

The sentencing for Donald Trump's hush money case, originally set for November 26, has been adjourned by Judge Juan Merchan as he considers the implications of Trump's recent reelection. Prosecutors are expected to provide guidance on whether the case should move forward, be delayed, or dismissed entirely, with the judge granting them additional time to assess the situation. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records stemming from a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The adjournment raises questions about the impact of a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity and whether Trump can be prosecuted while in office. Legal experts suggest that given Trump's status as president-elect, significant changes to the case's trajectory are possible, including potential dismissal. Overall, the case's future remains uncertain as legal proceedings continue to unfold.
