TL;DR Summary

A New York judge has indefinitely postponed the sentencing of former President Donald Trump in a federal criminal case related to hush money payments, allowing Trump's legal team to file a motion to dismiss. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling granting presidential immunity for official acts, which Trump's lawyers argue applies to this case. The delay aligns with other stalled legal proceedings against Trump, including federal prosecutions and a Georgia criminal trial. Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts of falsified business records has been used as a campaign tool for the 2024 election.
