Prosecutors in Manhattan have chosen not to take a definitive stand on Trump’s request to delay sentencing, leaving the decision solely to the judge presiding over the case.
The prosecutors expressed their readiness to proceed with sentencing on any date the judge finds suitable, emphasizing the need for adequate timeframe for Mr. Trump to challenge his conviction.
Justice Juan M. Merchan will decide whether to postpone Trump’s sentencing, scheduled for Sept. 18, allowing the former president the opportunity to contest his conviction.
The approach taken by district attorney Alvin Bragg aims to balance accountability for Trump while avoiding accusations of election interference ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
