The sentencing in Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial has been adjourned by the overseeing judge, Judge Juan Merchan. The sentencing was originally scheduled for next week but has been postponed following Trump's request to file a motion to dismiss the case.
Judge Merchan has granted Trump's team until December 2 to submit their papers for the motion to dismiss. Prosecutors have been ordered to respond by December 9. Trump's team had requested until December 20 to file their paperwork, but the judge did not grant this extension.
Furthermore, the judge has decided to delay issuing his decision on presidential immunity until after reviewing the filings from both parties. This indicates that the judge is taking a thorough and considered approach to the case.
As of now, no new sentencing date has been set, and the judge has not provided any further statements regarding the delay. This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings involving Donald Trump and the hush money trial.
