Trump's Hush Money Case Sentencing Postponed

News summary

Donald Trump has become the first convicted felon to win the U.S. presidency, with his sentencing for 34 felony counts related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels indefinitely postponed by Judge Juan Merchan. The judge set a deadline of December 2 for Trump's lawyers to file a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that ongoing criminal proceedings would hinder his ability to govern. Prosecutors, while agreeing to the delay, plan to contest the dismissal, emphasizing the need to balance constitutional interests. Legal experts suggest that a sitting president cannot face criminal prosecution, potentially shielding Trump from immediate consequences while in office. This case is part of a larger legal landscape for Trump, who is also facing other criminal and civil cases. The decision to delay proceedings raises questions about the implications of Trump's legal troubles during his upcoming term.
