US: Court postpones Donald Trump’s sentence in hush money case until after Presidential elections

A Manhattan judge has agreed to postpone Donald Trump’s sentencing in the hush money case until after the presidential election scheduled for November. Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is also considering a defence request to overturn the verdict on immunity grounds, has rescheduled Trump’s sentencing to November 26, several weeks after the final votes are cast. The sentencing had initially been set for September 18, just ahead of the election.
