Prosecutors Postpone Trump’s Sentencing in NY Hush Money Case

2 days ago New York prosecutors oppose any effort to dismiss Trump’s hush money conviction, but say they are open to delaying his sentencing until after his impending second term. In a court filing Tuesday, they said they’re OK with a sentencing delay while Trump's lawyers fight to get the case tossed out in light of his election. Judge Juan M. Merchan has not set a timetable for his decision. Trump's spokesperson characterized Tuesday's filing from prosecutors as “a total and definitive victory” for Trump. Sentencing had been scheduled for Nov. 26. The president-elect was convicted in May of falsifying business records. The case alleges that he covered up a scheme to influence the 2016 election by paying hush money to squelch a story of extramarital sex. Trump denies the allegations.
