Donald Trump’s sentencing in his Manhattan hush money case has been postponed to November 26, 2024, by Judge Juan Merchan. Originally scheduled for September 18, the delay comes amid the presidential election season. Trump, convicted in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, could face up to four years in prison. The delay allows for a focused sentencing hearing post-election, avoiding interference with the presidential race. Trump, who maintains his innocence, has labeled the case a “witch hunt.” Prosecutors accused him of covering up a $130,000 payment to silence Stormy Daniels.
