The judge presiding over President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money case in New York has delayed sentencing, granting Trump’s legal team an opportunity to argue that the conviction should be overturned in light of his election victory.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, whom Trump’s team previously sought to have removed from the case over allegations of bias, did not set a new sentencing date in his one-page order issued Friday, which canceled the sentencing hearing originally scheduled for next week, the Daily Wire reported.
