Former US president was previously scheduled to be sentenced on September 18th, less than two months before poll
Mr Trump’s lawyers in August argued there would not be enough time before the sentencing for the defence to potentially appeal Judge Merchan’s forthcoming ruling on their request to overturn the conviction due to the US supreme court’s landmark decision on presidential immunity. Judge Merchan had been scheduled to rule on that motion on September 16th.
The prosecutors said an appellate court could delay the sentencing anyway to give itself time to consider Trump’s arguments, a move they said would be “disruptive”. “He’s probably appropriately sensitive to opening himself up to charges from Trump and Trump supporters that he’s being too political,” Mr Grasso said. “He threaded the needle.”
