Donald Trump's Sentencing Delayed Indefinitely In Hush Money Case

NEW YORK CITY — President-elect Donald Trump sentencing for his conviction in the Stormy Daniel's hush money case has been delayed indefinitely, a Manhattan judge ruled Friday.

Judge Juan Merchan in a one-page court filing granted a request to postpone Trump's scheduled sentencing on Nov. 26 as defense lawyers continue to work to dismiss the case, according to multiple media reports.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Earlier this week, District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a letter to Merchan filed on Tuesday wrote that his office acknowledges that Trump is not likely to be sentenced “until after the end or after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term.”

Bragg also told Merchan not to dismiss Trump’s conviction, Patch previously reported.

Prosecutors are apparently leaning toward opting to freeze the case for four years while Trump is in office.
