Trump's Hush Money Sentencing Delayed Indefinitely Amid Dismissal Bid
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's sentencing in the Manhattan hush money case has been delayed indefinitely by Justice Juan Merchan, following Trump's election as president-elect. The delay allows time for Trump's legal team to argue for the case's dismissal, citing potential constitutional impediments to his presidency. The Manhattan District Attorney's office opposes dismissing the case but agrees to the sentencing delay, which may extend until Trump leaves office in 2029. Trump was convicted of falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels.
