Trump sentencing in New York criminal case delayed until after 2024 election

Former US President Donald Trump will not be sentenced in his New York criminal case until after the 2024 presidential election in November, media reported.

As per the CNN report on Friday, Judge Juan Merchan explained the reason that delay in the sentencing is



in part to avoid any appearance of affecting the outcome of the presidential race.

Merchan wrote in a new four-page letter that he would sentence Trump on November 26 — if necessary — in response to a request from Trump’s lawyers to push back the sentencing.
