Former President Donald Trump's lawyers are seeking to postpone the Sept. 18 sentencing in his New York hush-money conviction until after the election.
Trump's lawyers asked Judge Juan Merchan to delay the sentencing until after the November vote, according to a letter dated Aug. 14. Merchan earlier this week denied Trump's request to recuse himself in the hush-money case. Merchan wrote that it's the third time Trump has asked for his recusal based on "innuendo and mischaracterizations" concerning Merchan's daughter and her work with the Democratic Party.
