In a significant development, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appears to be conceding to a delay in the sentencing of former President Donald Trump, signaling a shift in the case’s timeline. On Tuesday, Bragg’s office filed a response indicating no opposition to defense attorneys’ request to postpone the scheduled hearing, which was initially set for next week.
Following Trump’s conviction, his sentencing was expected to take place on July 11th. However, this date is now uncertain due to a Supreme Court ruling that grants sitting presidents broad immunity from prosecution for official acts performed while in office. This landmark decision spurred a rapid motion from Trump’s lead defense attorney, Todd Blanche, to reschedule the sentencing hearing for later in the summer. Judge Juan Merchan is now considering a motion to overturn Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts. With both the defense and prosecution in agreement, a delay appears likely, as reported by the New York Times.

Trump’s attorneys plan to submit their court papers on July 10th, just one day before the originally scheduled sentencing. Prosecutors have indicated they will respond two weeks later, according to the outlet.
