Trump Sentencing Delayed Amid Presidential Immunity Review

Donald Trump's sentencing in the hush money case has been postponed to September 18, pending review of a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The delay comes after Trump's conviction for falsifying business records linked to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The judge will weigh the ruling's impact in September.

Donald Trump's sentencing in his hush money case has been postponed to at least September 18, following a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The judge agreed to delay sentencing to consider the implications of the ruling, which grants broad immunity protections to presidents.

Trump was previously scheduled to be sentenced on July 11 for his New York conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from an alleged effort to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

Defense attorneys argued that the Supreme Court ruling could impact the case, prompting the judge to set a new date. Trump, who continually denies any wrongdoing, will now appear in court on September 18, just after the Republican National Convention.
