The reason for the decision is unknown, but the New York Supreme Court judge granted Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the case while presidential immunity is considered.
Donald Trump’s sentencing in the Stormy Daniels case, which was to be announced next week, was postponed indefinitely by Judge Juan Merchán of the New York Supreme Court, according to CNN International. The decision on the request for presidential immunity requested by the president-elect’s defense was also postponed.
Trump’s lawyers now have until December 2 to file a motion to dismiss the case, despite having requested an extension of this deadline until the 20th of the same month. Prosecutors have one week to respond to this motion, starting from the day it is delivered.
In May of this year, the Republican leader was convicted of 34 crimes related to payments made to porn actress Stormy Daniels, in order to guarantee her silence about her relationship with the magnate and avoid damaging her first electoral campaign.
