Former President Donald J. Trump is actively seeking to delay his criminal sentencing in Manhattan, currently set for Sept. 18, until after the presidential election.
His lawyers argued that the timing of the sentencing could improperly influence voters and hinder his ability to contest his conviction on charges of record falsification.
Trump aims to utilize additional time to challenge his conviction, referencing a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that grants him broad immunity for actions taken as president.
While facing up to four years in prison, Trump's legal team is pushing the court to reconsider the charges, emphasizing the significance of maintaining electoral integrity.
