Trump Requests Postponement Of Sentencing In Hush Money Case Until After Presidential Election
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is requesting that the judge in his New York hush money case postpone his sentencing until after the November presidential election. In a letter released on Thursday, Trump’s legal team argued that sentencing him on September 18, approximately seven weeks before the election, would constitute interference with the election process.
Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, wrote that a delay would also give Trump time to consider his options after the trial judge, Juan M. Merchan, decides on September 16 whether to dismiss the case based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling from July concerning presidential immunity. Merchan is still deciding whether to dismiss the case on immunity grounds.
If Merchan denies Trump’s dismissal request, Trump’s legal team will need “sufficient time to evaluate and pursue state and federal appellate options,” they said. The Supreme Court’s immunity ruling limits the prosecution of former presidents for official acts and restricts the use of such acts as evidence in cases involving unofficial actions.
Trump’s lawyers contend that, given this ruling, the jury in the hush money case should not have been presented with evidence such as testimony from former White House staffers about Trump’s response to media coverage of the Daniels payment. This evidence, they argue, was improperly used to connect Trump’s official actions to the alleged unofficial act of making a hush money payment.
This request comes after Judge Merchan denied Trump’s latest motion requesting he recuse himself from the case due to a potential conflict of interest, as his daughter works as a Democratic political consultant, including for Kamala Harris during her 2020 presidential campaign. Trump’s lawyers reiterated this claim in their letter, stating that the judge’s continued involvement in the case could impact the outcome.
