Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has decided not to oppose former President Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing for his hush-money conviction until after the November election. The final decision now rests with New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.
In a letter dated Aug. 16, Bragg's office stated that they defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule to allow for adequate time to address Trump's motion while ensuring a timely sentencing process. The letter, signed by Bragg's assistant district attorneys, including a former Biden Justice Department official, Matthew Colangelo, was made public on Monday.
