Trump sentencing in hush money case is postponed until September after Supreme Court immunity ruling
SUMMARY
A New York judge has postponed Donald Trump's sentencing for his business fraud conviction to September 18th, 2024, following the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity. Originally set for July 11th, this delay means Trump will avoid sentencing during the summer. The Supreme Court decision, asserting presidential immunity for "core" duties, has broad implications, potentially affecting Trump’s other indictments. Trump’s legal team argues the immunity ruling should nullify his conviction, stating evidence from his presidency should not have been used in trial. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office agreed to the delay, planning to file a response by July 24th, 2024.
