Judge Delays Trump's Sentencing Due To Legal Hurdles

Former U.S. President Trump attends closing arguments in Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York

Judge Juan Merchant has decided to delay former President Donald Trump's sentencing in his New York case until after the election to avoid any appearance of favoritism towards either candidate. The judge's move has sparked discussions about the impartiality of the courtroom proceedings.

It has been noted that the delay in sentencing is not a direct benefit to President Trump but rather a necessity due to the legal complexities of the case. The Supreme Court's immunity decision regarding presidential acts has added another layer of complexity to the proceedings.

The case involves testimony from individuals like Hope Hicks, which may conflict with the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. There are concerns about the admissibility of certain evidence and the potential for reversible errors in the trial.
