Trump's Sentencing Delayed Amid Dismissal Motion

News summary

The sentencing in President-elect Donald Trump's New York hush money case has been indefinitely postponed by Judge Juan Merchan following Trump's recent presidential election victory. The judge has permitted Trump's legal team to file a motion to dismiss the conviction, arguing that the case interferes with his transition and duties as president-elect. Prosecutors, while opposing the dismissal, are open to delaying proceedings as long as Trump is in office. Trump was previously found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels. The defense argues that the election result supersedes the jury's verdict, citing presidential immunity. Both sides are required to submit their arguments by early December.
