Trump's hush money case; judge rejects request to delay sentencing | N18G

A New York judge, Juan Merchan, rejected Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing in the hush money case, which is scheduled for January 10, 2025. Trump's attorneys had argued for a postponement, citing his election victory and the pending appeal of his conviction. Merchan dismissed these claims, stating that they were repetitive and noted that the prosecution opposed any delay. Trump had been convicted in May of falsifying business records to cover up a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The payment aimed to prevent Daniels from disclosing an alleged sexual encounter with Trump. Although Trump's legal team attempted to have the case dismissed, Merchan ruled that Trump would be immune from prosecution once sworn in as president, but the conviction remains in place. Legal experts did not expect Trump to face jail time, with Merchan leaning toward an unconditional discharge, meaning no jail or conditions would be imposed.
