Trump's Sentencing Adjourned; Prosecutors Oppose Dismissal in Hush Money Case

Nov 19, 2024, 06:09 PM

Donald Trump's November 26 sentencing in his New York hush money case has been adjourned by the court as the judge considers how to proceed in light of Trump's recent election victory. The conviction stems from 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to a porn star. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stated that prosecutors oppose dismissing Trump's conviction but are open to postponing sentencing until after his upcoming presidential term, potentially in 2029. The delay allows for further legal challenges, including Trump's expected motion to dismiss the conviction. Judge Juan Merchan, overseeing the case, has not provided an explanation for the adjournment.
