Former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in the New York hush money case was delayed indefinitely, as the judge considers whether to uphold the conviction post-Supreme Court ruling.
Trump's attorney argued that the earlier conviction should be overturned under the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States, which provides presidential immunity for actions taken while in office.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office also suggested delaying the sentencing, recognizing the unprecedented nature of the case and its implications on presidential powers and governance.
Justice Juan Merchan granted the request for postponement, urging a careful evaluation of the arguments surrounding the balance of a jury's verdict and the presidential role.
