Trump's Sentencing in Hush Money Case Delayed Indefinitely
The former president, recently re-elected, awaits further legal proceedings as his lawyers seek to overturn the verdict.
- Donald Trump, the newly re-elected U.S. president, faces indefinite delay in sentencing for his conviction in the hush money case involving falsified business records.
- The sentencing, originally scheduled for November 26, has been postponed to allow additional legal filings, with deadlines set for early December.
- Trump's legal team is attempting to overturn the May 2024 guilty verdict, which marked the first criminal conviction of a former U.S. president in history.
- The case centers on $130,000 in hush money paid to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election, with the court finding Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal the payment.
- Prosecutors remain open to delaying sentencing until after Trump's second term ends in 2029, raising questions about the intersection of his legal battles and presidency.
