Judge delays Trump’s sentencing in hush money case to allow more time to argue why conviction should be tossed

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan set deadlines in early December for defense lawyers and prosecutors to argue whether Donald Trump’s convictions for falsifying business records related to a hush money payment should be overturned because he has been reelected as president. Merchan canceled Trump’s scheduled Nov. 26 sentencing but left room for him to be sentenced sometime after Dec. 9, before Trump again becomes president in late January.
