The sentencing in the obviously politically motivated “Trump hush money” case has been called off in the wake of his decisive victory against The Cackler.
According to Fox:
Donald Trump's sentencing for 34 criminal charges in the state of New York was abruptly adjourned by the court Tuesday without explanation, giving the presiding judge additional time to weigh how to proceed.
The delayed sentencing came on the same day that District Attorney Alvin Bragg was slated to file a recommendation to Judge Juan Merchan on how to proceed.
Trump was convicted in May by a Manhattan jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records, stemming from a case about payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, which could have landed him a maximum sentence of up to four years in prison.
Trump’s attorneys obviously backed the stay - and are pushing for the charges to be vacated entirely.
Back in July, the SCOTUS ruled that Presidents should enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution for most actions taken as President, which cast doubt on the validity of this already-obviously politically motivated case.
A felony in New York normally must be charged within five years of the case - and this case was not brought within that time frame. Rather, Bragg used a pandemic-era extension signed by former Governor Andrew Cuomo to bring his case. The extension was done through executive order, not the legislature, which many legal analysts have argued isn't a permissible increase of the statute of limitations.
