The Manhattan district attorney has announced that they are willing to delay Donald Trump's sentencing in order to address the president-elect's anticipated motion to dismiss the hush money case. Prosecutors have stated their intention to oppose Trump's motion and have proposed a deadline of December 9 for their response.
In a statement, prosecutors expressed their deep respect for the Office of the President and emphasized their commitment to upholding the principles of the legal system. They also acknowledged the unique legal challenges that may arise with Trump's impending inauguration and highlighted the importance of the jury's role in the constitutional process.
While prosecutors do not support a stay of the proceedings, they indicated that such a request would likely be granted on appeal. They suggested that further court proceedings be postponed to allow for the resolution of Trump's motion to dismiss, signaling their willingness to accommodate the defense's request for a stay.
Trump's legal team is expected to submit a response to the prosecutors' arguments, after which the judge will make a decision on how to proceed with the case.
