Manhattan District Attorney Agrees to Postpone Sentencing for Trump

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has agreed to postpone sentencing for President-elect Donald Trump in his business records case.

A Nov. 19 letter to New York Justice Juan Merchan showed Bragg stating that his office believed “further proceedings before this Court should be adjourned to permit litigation” surrounding Trump’s motion to dismiss.

Sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 26. Trump had asked the court to throw out the verdict and indictment based on presidential immunity with an expected decision earlier this month. Merchan, however, postponed a decision on that motion after Trump’s election.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
