Donald Trump attends his New York criminal trial –
A New York judge again delayed Donald Trump’s sentencing in his historical criminal case as he continues to push for the conviction to be tossed.
Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony fraud counts in May, was supposed to be sentenced on 26 November – less than two months before his presidential inauguration.
His lawyers argue that his conviction should be thrown out on the grounds of presidential immunity, and because sentencing would interfere with his duties as president.
The Manhattan district attorney who prosecuted Trump is fighting for the sentencing, but has suggested that it could wait until after Trump’s second term.
On Friday, in what Trump’s team is calling a victory in the Trump trial, Justice Juan Merchan paused all proceedings until he receives further arguments from both parties in December.
