Manhattan DA Considers Non-Prison Resolution in Trump Hush Money Case

Manhattan prosecutors have proposed delaying or potentially ending the sentencing of Donald Trump in his hush money case without overturning his conviction, citing his upcoming presidency. While they oppose dismissing the 34 felony counts against him, they suggest postponing sentencing until after his presidency or using a legal precedent for cases where defendants die before sentencing. This approach would maintain the guilty verdict without disrupting Trump's presidency. The decision now rests with Judge Juan Merchan, who is considering Trump's requests to dismiss the conviction.
