BREAKING: President Trump’s New York ‘Hush Money’ Sentencing Delayed Until After Election

President Trump’s New York ‘hush money’ sentencing has been delayed until after the 2024 election, Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Friday.

Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on September 18 but moved to November 26.

“This is not a decision this Court makes lightly but it is the decision which in this Court’s view, best advances the interests of justice,” Judge Juan Merchan wrote in the decision, NBC News reported.

President Trump’s lawyers previously asked Juan Merchan to delay the September 18 sentencing after the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling. Judge Merchan said he would issue a decision by September 16.

Judge Merchan also pushed back his ruling on the presidential immunity dispute to November 12.
