We begin today in the U.S., where a New York judge has delayed Donald Trump’s sentencing for his criminal conviction in a hush-money case until September as the former U.S. president seeks to challenge his conviction after the Supreme Court ruled partial presidential immunity on Monday.
The first former U.S. president to be ever convicted of a felony, Trump’s sentencing was initially scheduled for July 11th.
However, on Tuesday, the former president’s legal team asked for his conviction to be overturned following Monday’s Supreme Court ruling that presidents have partial immunity for “official” acts during their presidency.
However legal experts have questioned the delay saying actions related to the hush money payment should not be considered as official.
Justice Juan Merchan said the court will issue a decision by September 6th and if sentencing is necessary, it will take place on September 18th.
