Judge Delays Trump’s Hush Money Sentencing Until After Election
Judge Delays Trump’s Hush Money Sentencing Until After Election
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal case has postponed his sentencing for the second time. According to Reuters, the new sentencing date has been pushed to November 26, after the presidential election on November 5.
Trump’s lawyers asked Judge Juan M. Merchan, who oversaw Trump’s seven-week trial earlier this year, to postpone the September 18 sentencing. They argued there wouldn’t be enough time for the defense to appeal Merchan’s upcoming ruling on Trump’s request to overturn the conviction, citing the US Supreme Court’s landmark decision on presidential immunity.
In May, Trump was convicted by a unanimous jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors said Trump signed off on the scheme to hide reimbursements to a lawyer who wired a $130,000 “hush money” payment to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump pleaded not guilty and denied the encounter.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of four years in jail. Most legal observers expect Trump to avoid jail time, given the alternatives to incarceration, including probation.
Trump’s original sentencing was set for July 11, but it was delayed after he filed a motion to overturn his conviction, citing a landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove’s request for a postponement argued it would be inappropriate to sentence the former president this month since early voting in the presidential election has already begun.
“By adjourning the sentencing until after that election … the Court would reduce, even if not eliminate, issues regarding the integrity of any future proceedings,” they wrote.
🚨Its official – Trump won’t be sentenced in NY until after the election
If he wins, no jail time for his political persecution
If he loses, he’ll likely spend the rest of his life in jail as a political prisoner

Libertarianism vs. Microlibertarianism
Libertarianism is a consistent and principled philosophy that is absolute in scope and universal in application. We can begin with this classic description of libertarianism by libertarianism’s greatest theorist, Murray Rothbard (1926–1995): Libertarianism is not and does not pretend to be a complete moral, or aesthetic theory; it is only a political theory, that is,…
