In a letter released Friday, Merchan cited a desire to avoid any appearance of trying to affect the approaching presidential election, but as a practical matter, it looks like the Manhattan district attorney’s office was mostly responsible for this result.

Prosecutors told Merchan several weeks ago that they did not oppose Trump’s request to delay the sentencing beyond the November election.

The result also diminishes the likelihood of a much-anticipated reckoning over whether Trump should spend some time in prison as a result of his conviction .... Indeed, if the day ever arrives when Trump is sentenced .... he has earned himself a few months behind bars.

Delaying sentencing gives way more of the appearance of trying to affect the election than not delaying, since delaying is giving special treatment imo. But legal experts have also said that the postponement removes the possibility of the Supreme Court interfering with the case and prevents any more possible delays.

"Former President Donald Trump this summer offered a financial incentive to adult film star Stormy Daniels if she agreed to keep quiet about Trump — including about the relationship that became the center of the hush money payments that ended up the subject of a New York criminal trial — ahead of this November’s election, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow reported on Wednesday."

MSNBC obtained emails from Daniels’ lawyer showing Trump’s team attempting to negotiate her silence ahead of November.


Citing a call and documents from Daniels’ lawyer reviewed by MSNBC, Maddow said that “this time,” Trump and his attorney were “apparently planning to launder the new hush money payment to Stormy Daniels through the payment of a legal judgment.”

Yes, the email (letter of offer from the law offices of Harry J Ross) was sent to Stormy's lawyers on 25th July 2024.

It offered to reduce the legal fees that they are suing Stormy for, if she agreed to make no private or public statements about "past interactions with trump" - or about his businesses, his affiliates, or his suitability as a candidate.

(I have seen the actual letter - with address redactions - on Daily Kos.)

Weird.

Trump's most pressing legal issue following the election is his Nov. 26 sentencing on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to cover up a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

The sentencing could still proceed in November if Trump wins the election, though the new circumstances could influence Judge Merchan's decision, according to Boston College law professor Jeffrey Cohen. Merchan could opt to impose a lighter sentence -- such as a day of probation -- or opt to delay the sentence until Trump leaves office.

Trump's lawyers could also attempt to delay the sentencing in light of the outcome of the election, and the former president still has multiple outstanding legal efforts to delay the case.

Trump's federal criminal cases set to be CLOSED

The move would confirm the DOJ is sticking with the precedent that no sitting president can be prosecuted.

This case is a state case, Dotta. Not a federal case and not prosecuted by Jack Smith. Trump was found guilty and convicted of this crime back in May, this year.
