Judge delays Trump's sentencing in hush money case until after November election

new york — A judge agreed Friday to postpone Donald Trump's sentencing in his hush money case until after the November election, granting the Republican presidential nominee a hard-won reprieve as he navigates the aftermath of his criminal conviction and the homestretch of his campaign. Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is also weighing a defense request to overturn the verdict on immunity grounds, delayed Trump's sentencing until November 26, several weeks after the final votes are cast in the presidential election.
