Justice Juan Merchan granted Donald Trump's request to postpone sentencing until after the presidential election, stating that it avoids any political bias from the Court.
The judge acknowledged that the timing of the adjournment was influenced by the upcoming election, yet insisted that Trump would not be treated differently from any other defendant.
Despite the court's decision, Trump's legal battles persist as he faces multiple charges, including 34 counts of creating a false business record related to hush money payments.
The Second Circuit is set to review Trump's attempt to move his case to federal court, a decision complicated by the previous rulings of Judge Hellerstein.
