A New York judge will delay President-elect Donald Trump 's sentencing for his hush money conviction as the incoming president fights to have the conviction dropped.A hearing was slated for Nov. 26, but that has been canceled. Judge Juan Merchan is now giving Trump 's team until Dec. 2 to file a motion to seek a drop in charges. Prosecutors have until Dec. 9 to file their response.
His sentencing remains in question in the wake of Trump's presidential election victory. Sentencing has faced multiple delays, first because of the Supreme Court's ruling on immunity. It faced continued delays as Merchan did not want to hold the hearing right before the presidential election.In May, a jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his New York criminal hush money trial, making him the first American president to be convicted of a crime.
