Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office said Tuesday that they don’t oppose delaying the sentencing of Donald Trump in his hush money case given the Supreme Court’s ruling Monday that he has immunity for some of his actions as president in his separate election interference case.
Several assistant district attorneys made their position known in a letter to New York Judge Juan Merchan, who’s presiding over the hush money case. Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment his former lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels at the end of the 2016 presidential campaign to cover up an alleged affair. Trump denies any affair with Daniels. He was scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
