The Manhattan district attorney's office has told the judge overseeing President-elect Trump's hush money case that his sentencing should be stayed while his lawyers make arguments should be dismissed.
Donald Trump wants to dismiss his New York hush money case following his political victory and impending return to the White House. In a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, Manhattan prosecutors said they intend to oppose Trump’s forthcoming dismissal motion, but they agreed to a pause of further proceedings while that motion is litigated.
Merchan delayed the sentencing until September and then, because of the election, to Nov. 26. The judge was supposed to rule last week on whether he would overturn the verdicts, but after Trump won the election, his lawyers asked to pause the proceedings. Prosecutors agreed to a postponement, which Merchan allowed, giving state prosecutors until Tuesday to explain their position on how they want to proceed. Now we have that position.
