Trump Sentencing Delayed Following Supreme Court Immunity Ruling

On Tuesday, July 2nd, a New York judge postponed the sentencing of former President Donald Trump in his hush-money case until September 18, following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. Originally scheduled for July 11, the sentencing delay means Trump will avoid any immediate punishment and will be formally nominated for the presidency at the Republican National Convention starting July 15.

The Supreme Court’s decision, which grants former presidents immunity from prosecution for actions within their official duties, has thrown Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump into doubt. Trump’s legal team quickly leveraged the ruling, arguing that evidence used against him involved “official acts” and should be immune from prosecution. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office agreed to the delay but maintained that Trump’s arguments lack merit.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. His legal team contends that evidence from his time in office, including testimony from former aide Hope Hicks, should be excluded under the new immunity ruling. If the judge finds this evidence inadmissible, it could lead to a new trial.

Judge Juan Merchan approved the delay, scheduling a ruling related to the immunity decision for September 6. This decision underscores the broader implications of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which could affect other legal cases involving Trump, including those related to classified documents and election interference in Georgia.

The delay in sentencing adds to the complexities surrounding Trump’s legal battles as he campaigns for the presidency. The potential sentences Trump faces include prison time, probation, and fines, though the Manhattan District Attorney has not yet indicated the sought sentence.
