Former President Donald Trump’s hush money sentencing will be delayed until September after his request to throw out his conviction.
Judge Juan Merchan set a new sentencing date of Sept. 18, according to a Tuesday court filing. Trump was initially going to be sentenced July 11.
The delay comes after Trump’s attorneys wrote a letter to Merchan asking that his conviction be thrown out. That last-ditch effort to wriggle out of accountability comes after the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision Monday that Trump has full immunity for “official acts” he took as president.
