Judge delays Trump’s sentencing in hush money case to eye high court ruling on presidential immunity

Trump's attorney requested Judge Juan M. Merchan to set aside the jury's guilty verdict and delay sentencing due to the Supreme Court ruling. Merchan will rule on Sep. 6 with a possible follow-up on Sep. 18.
Prosecutors in Manhattan agreed to postpone sentencing to allow Trump to present his case, despite deeming his argument baseless.
Merchan will make a decision on Trump's request by Sep. 6, with a sentencing date less than two weeks later if the conviction stands. Deadline for arguments is July 10 for Trump's lawyers and July 24 for prosecutors.
