New York judge tells Trump’s lawyers he’d delay the ruling until Nov. 19 so that prosecutors can give their view of what to do in light of Trump’s impending return to the White House
Donald Trump, standing with defence lawyer Todd Blanche, speaks at the conclusion of proceedings for the day at his trial at Manhattan criminal court in New York on May 14.conviction in his hush money case as his lawyers argued that his election last week warrants dismissing the case altogether so he can run the country.
Because of the “unprecedented circumstances,” prosecutors need to consider how to balance the “competing interests” of the jury’s verdict and the presidency, prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote. Trump’s lawyers cited that ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some evidence it shouldn’t have, such as Trump’s presidential financial disclosure form and testimony from some White House aides.Trump’s criminal conviction was a first for any ex-president. It left the 78-year-old facing the possibility of punishment ranging from a fine or probation to up to four years in prison.
Prosecutors said the designation was meant to cloak the true purpose of the payments and help cover up a broader effort to keep voters from hearing unflattering claims about the Republican during his first campaign.
