New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchán has delayed sentencing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the financial fraud case (also known as the case of Stormy Daniels, a former porn actress) until after the election, Breitbart reports.
It should be noted that Trump’s sentencing was previously scheduled for September 18, but Merchan postponed it until November 26. Trump asked for a delay to give him more time to challenge the conviction.
“This decision was not taken lightly by the court, but it is a decision that the court believes best serves the interests of justice. I therefore direct that sentencing, if necessary, be scheduled for November 26.” – says Merchan’s decision, quoted by Radio Liberty***.
