The Manhattan District Attorney’s office won’t oppose former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his upcoming sentencing in his Manhattan criminal case, prosecutors said in a letter Monday, potentially punting the ex-president’s sentencing until after the election as he appeals an upcoming ruling over whether the verdict against him should be thrown out.
Trump has asked for the sentencing in his criminal case, now scheduled for September 18, to be postponed until after the November election, arguing he should have time to appeal a ruling set to come out on September 16 over whether the verdict against him should be dismissed.
Judge Juan Merchan is expected to rule on September 16 on the issue of the verdict, in light of the recent Supreme Court decision giving Trump some immunity from criminal charges, as the ex-president has argued the verdict should be thrown out as a result, because it means some of the evidence used at his trial should not have been admitted.
Prosecutors said in a letter to Merchan Monday they’ll defer to the court on whether to delay Trump’s sentencing, conceding there are logistics about the immunity ruling that still have to be clarified and saying they’re “prepared to appear for sentencing on any future date the Court sets.”

We drove on the outskirts of NYC once. Had no desire to ever see it any closer than that and would’ve skipped it entirely if it weren’t on our long trek home. It didn’t even get any gas money from us.
Certainly, she could be wrong, but I watched one of her
videos around the first of July. She
predicted that the time around July 10-15 would be chaos
for Donald Trump.
Well...I assumed he’d be in court and sentenced on July 11th. The judge postposed the sentencing after her video. Then the shooting in Butler happened on July 13th.
Anyhow...here are predictions for the coming months...

I’m always curious to see if anything comes true. She talks
about this coming week also.
This has been a highly unusual case, to put it charitably - but it would be highly unusual for the judge to refuse Trump’s request when it is unopposed by the DA. I think the odds now weigh in favor of no sentencing before the election.
They are very aware of the wrath of 70,000,000+ Trump supporters.
this would be the second punt
“political considerations will be part of the decision making on this”
I think they are the only consideration.
Both, probably.
From the timing of multiple indictments, the jurisdictions those indictments were filed in, the sitting DA’s in those districts and and the contorted use of the law to create non-felonies into felonies was nothing but political.
The Colombian will act in a way that benefits the ‘rats politically.
The law, ethics, morals and fairness will play no part in how Merchan ultimately rules.
Thanks!
Meaning they are not sure any of this circus is valid...
No case here, it’s all political and they know it.
SCOTUS should, but will they? I have no confidence they will.
Clear, rational thinking is not cynical.
Cheif Justice Roberts is a joke. He won’t do anything. He’s 100% deep state.
If they plan that, they had better be able to prove that any other businessman convicted of the same paperwork violation has ever been imprisoned for it.
They know it won’t stand and they also know if he is frog marched any shot at their astroturfing holding is OVER.
Kamala will be debating Donald Trump a week prior to the sentencing date. If Trump crushes her in the debate, Merchan may very well go nuclear.
I read somewhere that her “campaign” should be called a production.
