Donald Trump's sentencing in New York hush money case

may be delayed after immunity ruling

 

Former President Donald Trump's upcoming sentencing in his New York hush money case may be delayed to address if the historic conviction should be thrown out after the Supreme Court's Monday ruling that presidents enjoy broad immunity from criminal prosecution.

 

A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on May 30 of 34 counts of falsifying records tied to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

 

However, Trump's legal team sent a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Monday seeking permission to file a motion arguing that the verdicts should be wiped out.

 

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office suggested Tuesday that may be grounds to delay Trump's sentencing, currently scheduled for July 11.

 

"Although we believe defendant's arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion," prosecutors said in a Tuesday letter to Merchan.
