Manhattan DA is open to delaying Trump’s sentencing date in hush money conviction after Supreme Court ruling
SUMMARY
The Manhattan District Attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg, has announced that Donald Trump's sentencing in the New York hush-money case, originally scheduled for July 11th, 2024, can be postponed following the recent US Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. In a letter on Tuesday, prosecutors indicated they would fully brief Trump's motion to dismiss his conviction on 34 felony charges by July 24th, accommodating potential delays in the sentencing process. Trump's legal team, represented by attorney Will Scharf, contends that evidence concerning his official acts should not have been admissible, citing the Supreme Court's decision affirming immunity for such acts.
