US Judge Delays Donald Trump's Hush Money Sentencing Until After November Election
A Manhattan judge, Juan Merchan, has postponed the sentencing of former US President Donald Trump in a criminal hush-money case until November 26, three weeks after the November 5 presidential election. This is the second delay in the sentencing hearing, which was originally set for July 11 and later rescheduled for September 18. Trump was convicted in May of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The delay means that voters will not know by Election Day whether the Republican nominee will face jail time. Judge Merchan cited the need to "advance the interests of justice" as the reason for the postponement. Trump has responded by claiming that the case should be terminated and that "everyone realizes there was no case" against him.
There should be no sentencing in the Manhattan DA's Election Interference Witch Hunt. As mandated by the United States Supreme Court, this case, along with all of the other Harris-Biden Hoaxes, should be dismissed.
This is not the kind of publicity you like.
It is a political attack against me by Comrade Kamala Harris.
The Manhattan D.A. Witch Hunt has been postponed because everyone realizes that there was NO CASE, I DID NOTHING WRONG!
This case should be rightfully terminated, as we prepare for the Most Important Election in the History of our Country.
A jury of 12 New Yorkers swiftly and unanimously convicted Donald Trump of 34 felony counts.
The imposition of sentence will be adjourned to avoid any appearance - however unwarranted - that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election in which the defendant is a candidate.
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.
