New York Court Delays Trump Felony Sentencing Trial Until Sept. 18 

HeadlineJul 03, 2024

Here in New York, a Manhattan judge has postponed Donald Trump’s felony sentencing trial until September 18. Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges of attempting to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election by falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The delay gives Trump’s lawyers more time to persuade a judge the conviction should be thrown out following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that Trump has broad immunity from prosecution for official acts he committed as president.
