Court Delays Decision on Trump Sentencing Until November 19
A New York court has delayed until November 19 its decision on potentially throwing out President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts. Trump was found guilty of fraudulently manipulating business records to cover up an alleged sexual encounter with a porn star.
The delay follows the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity, which may impact Trump’s case. If the judge decides to dismiss the case, Trump may avoid sentencing, scheduled for November 26.
Trump’s lawyers sought to have the case thrown out based on the Supreme Court decision, but prosecutors have rejected the move. The outcome will determine whether Trump faces sentencing or potentially walks free.
