WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan delayed a sentencing hearing in the so-called hush money case involving former US President Donald Trump until November 26 so as not to interfere with the 2024 US presidential race, according to court documents.
"By letter dated August 14, 2024, Defendant requests an adjournment of his sentencing, currently scheduled for September 18, 2024, until after the 2024 presidential election," Merchan said in a letter to counsel filed on Friday. "Ordered, that sentencing on this matter, if necessary, is adjourned to November 26, 2024, at 10:00 a.m."
Merchan scheduled a decision on a motion to set aside the jury verdict in the case and dismiss the indictment for November 12.
According to reports, a spokesperson for the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg said that a jury of 12 New Yorkers "swiftly and unanimously" convicted Donald Trump of 34 felony counts.
