New York Judge Postpones Trump Sentencing

A New York judge has indefinitely postponed Donald Trump's sentencing in a hush money case involving payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, following his recent election win. Judge Juan Merchan granted Trump's request to file a motion to dismiss the charges, with a deadline of December 2 for the defense and December 9 for the prosecution to respond. Trump's legal team argues that continuing the case during his presidency would hinder his governance, labeling the prosecution as politically motivated. Trump's spokesperson hailed the judge's decision as a 'decisive win,' asserting that the ruling allows Trump to focus on his presidential duties. This case marks a significant moment, as it is the first time a former president faces criminal charges related to such allegations. The future of the prosecution remains uncertain as the judge has not set a new sentencing date.
