Judge Juan Merchan delayed the sentencing date for Donald Trump in his criminal hush money case by more than two months.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was previously set to be sentenced on July 11. But Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan in Tuesday's order canceled that date, while granting a request by Trump's attorneys to file a motion seeking to overturn his guilty verdict.Trump's lawyers now have until July 10 to file a motion to set aside the hush money verdict.
And “because of the complexity of the issues presented,” they added, “President Trump does not object to an adjournment of the July 11, 2024 sentencing date in order to allow adequate time for full briefing, oral argument, and a decision.” Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's office, in their own letter to Merchan on Tuesday, said they believe Trump's arguments are meritless.
