Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to postpone the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump in the hush money case until after his upcoming presidential term, which could extend to 2029. This decision comes as Trump's legal team seeks to dismiss the conviction following his recent election victory. Prosecutors have expressed opposition to dismissing the case but are open to pausing the sentencing, previously scheduled for November 26th, to allow for further legal debate before Judge Juan Merchan. The case, which involves allegations of a hush money scheme, has drawn significant attention due to its implications for Trump's presidency and the legal system's handling of high-profile political figures.
