New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan postponed Trump's sentencing for more than two months on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump has a new sentencing date for his New York felony convictions and the announcement is raising eyebrows less than two days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Trump's favor on presidential immunity.The Supreme Court's conservative majority on Monday sided with Trump, ruling that former presidents have absolute immunity against criminal prosecution for official acts conducted while in office.

'It does NOT take TWO MONTHS to rule Trump's immunity doesn't apply here since most of the events occurred before he was president and were NOT 'official acts.' STOP IT - TRUMP IS NOT A KING.'''If such is still necessary'? HE WAS CONVICTED ON 34 FELONY COUNTS OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE,' @jkarsh wrote.'There it is...it's over....judge even says at the end 'for the imposition of sentence, if such is still necessary,' wrote @WUTangKids.
