Donald Trump's hush-money sentencing delayed until after US election | BBC News
Donald Trump's sentencing in his Manhattan hush-money criminal trial has been postponed until after the November election.
Justice Juan Merchan on Friday delayed the sentencing to 26 November, citing "the unique time frame this matter currently finds itself in" among his reasons.
Lawyers for Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, have used several legal manoeuvres to delay the sentencing, which was scheduled for 18 September.
A New York jury convicted Trump in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, the first time a sitting or former president has been convicted of a crime.
