Former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in the New York business records case has been delayed until after the 2024 presidential election. Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, cited concerns about potential distractions and the need for a fair sentencing hearing. Trump maintains his innocence and claims the case is politically motivated.
In Donald Trump’s criminal case in New York, prosecutors allege that the former president falsified business records to conceal a conspiracy to manipulate the 2016 election. They argue that the falsification charges, which are considered misdemeanors on their own, are elevated to felonies when tied to the election conspiracy, which is a felony offense.
