Trump Seeks Delay in Manhattan Hush Money Sentencing Until After November 2024 Election
Aug 15, 2024, 03:41 PM
Former President Donald Trump is seeking to delay his sentencing in a Manhattan criminal case related to hush money payments until after the November 2024 presidential election. Trump's legal team has requested Judge Juan Merchan to postpone the sentencing, originally scheduled for September 18, arguing that proceeding as planned would constitute 'naked election interference.' Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. His attorneys contend that the delay is necessary to address ongoing legal challenges to his conviction and assert that the current sentencing timeline advances the alleged election-interference objectives of the prosecutors.
