Attorneys for former President Donald Trump asked the New York judge overseeing his sentencing later this month to postpone the date or any “substantiate orders,” citing activity in Trump’s separate federal case.
The former president was convicted by a jury in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Judge Juan Merchan set a July 11 sentencing date but later postponed it to Sept. 18. The judge will decide on Sept. 16 whether to grant Trump’s request to set aside the jury’s verdict based on immunity claims.
