Manhattan DA Opposes Trump's Dismissal Motion, Supports Sentencing Delay in Hush Money Case

Nov 19, 2024, 05:52 PM

Prosecutors in New York have told Judge Merchan that they oppose any effort by President-elect Donald Trump to dismiss his hush money conviction. However, Manhattan DA Bragg's office does not object to pausing Trump's sentencing, which was scheduled for next week, to allow time for legal proceedings regarding his motion to dismiss the case. This comes as Trump's election has raised questions about the future of his criminal case. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has recommended that the court delay Trump's sentencing to address his motion to dismiss, if allowed, and the DA's Office will file its opposition to the dismissal.
