Former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his July 11 sentencing in the New York hush money trial will likely be granted, Law 360 first reported on Tuesday.
On Monday, Trump’s legal team requested that his conviction in the hush money case be set aside and his sentencing be postponed, following the Supreme Court's "absolute immunity" decision.
In a letter dated Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg wrote that he does not oppose adjourning Trump’s sentencing for at least two weeks.
“Although we believe the defendant’s claim to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion,” Bragg wrote. “We respectfully request a deadline of July 24, 2024 — two weeks after the defendant’s requested deadline — to file and serve a response.”
