BREAKING: NYC Judge Juan Merchan delays decision on Trump sentencing AGAIN

According to Just The News, the request to delay was brought forward by Trump’s legal team to weigh how their client winning the election affects the case moving forward. The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity is also to be considered in relation to the case.

A Sunday email from Manhattan prosecutor Matthew Colangelo said that the defendant had asked the prosecution to agree to "a stay of these proceedings in order to provide time to review and consider a number of arguments based on the impact on this proceeding from the results of the Presidential election."

"The people agree these are unprecedented circumstances and that the arguments raised by the defense counsel in correspondence to the People on Friday require careful consideration to ensure that any further steps in this proceeding appropriately balance the competing interests of (1) a jury verdict of guilt following trial that has the presumption of regularity; and (2) the Office of the President," Colangelo added.

"Accordingly, the People respectfully request that the Court adjourn the upcoming scheduled dates to afford the People time to assess these recent developments, and set November 19, 2024 as a deadline for the People to advise the Court regarding our view of appropriate steps going forward."

Merchan on Tuesday was expected to issue his ruling on whether to toss the case over the Supreme Court's July presidential immunity ruling, which stated that a president has immunity for official acts undertaken while in office. Trump’s legal team has argued that the New York ruling should be overturned because evidence used in the conviction, namely correspondence between himself and his aides as well as social media posts, were protected as "official acts."
