    Andy McCarthy Predicts Trump Sentencing in Stormy Daniels Case Will Be Delayed: ‘I Don’t See How It Can Go Forward’

    Fox News’ Andy McCarthy predicted that former President Donald Trump would not be sentenced in his falsification of business records case next month, telling Neil Cavuto that he doesn’t see “how it can go forward” given the Supreme Court’s ruling in the presidential immunity case issued earlier this year.

    After a discussion about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s superseding indictment in Trump’s federal election subversion case, Cavuto steered the conversation back toward Trump’s conviction in New York for falsifying business records pertaining to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and others.

    “What about the New York finance case?” asked Cavuto. “The sentencing, you know, slated for next month. And I know the Trump team was trying to say that Supreme Court decision even affects that. That seems like a bit of a stretch, but I’m not the lawyer — you are. What do you think?”

    “Well, it’s not a stretch, it’s a real thing. And that’s because I think the Manhattan District Attorney’s office was pretty reckless in the way that they presented the trial,” replied McCarthy. “I don’t think they needed to prove evidence of Trump’s official acts, but they not only did, they actually subpoenaed and called to the stand two of his White House staffers. And they knew the Supreme Court was considering this issue, so I think it was kind of reckless on their part to do that.”

    “But even [Manhattan District Attorney Alvin] Bragg has told Judge [Juan] Merchan that he doesn’t object to a postponement of the sentencing. And it looks to me to be pretty obvious that the sentencing has to be postponed,” he continued. “I don’t see how it can go forward on September 18, because whatever Merchan on decides on Trump’s new immunity issue based on the Supreme Court’s opinion, he [Trump] gets to appeal that.”
