Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan has delayed the sentencing of former President Donald Trump in his New York hush money case until November 26, 2024, after the U.S. presidential election on November 5, 2024. The decision aims to avoid any perception of political interference in the election process. Trump's sentencing was initially scheduled for September 18, but the delay grants him additional time to navigate his legal challenges and continue his presidential campaign. The case involves allegations of hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and follows Trump's criminal conviction.
