Judge Juan Merchan stated, "The imposition of sentence will be adjourned to avoid any appearance—however unwarranted—that the proceeding has been affected by the approaching Presidential election." This underscores the court's intention to maintain political impartiality.
Trump’s legal team has argued that evidence presented against him, particularly testimonies from former White House employees, could be seen as violating the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
Merchan's postponements and decisions reflect an ongoing effort to ensure that the legal proceedings against Trump do not impact the electoral process, stating that "The Court is a fair, impartial, and apolitical institution."
