Judge delays Trump hush money sentencing until after US election

By DPA,

A US judge on Friday delayed the sentencing in Republican candidate Donald Trump's hush money trial until after November's presidential election.

Judge Juan Merchan was due to sentence Trump on September 18 after he was found guilty in May in a trial connected to hush money payments in the run-up to the 2016 election, making him the first former US president convicted of a criminal offence.

However, Trump's lawyers argued that a decision on the sentence just a few weeks before the election on November 5 could influence the integrity of the vote.

The sentencing has now been delayed to November 26, court documents showed.
