Judge in Trump's criminal hush money case postpones sentencing to Sept. 18
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money case in New York has postponed sentencing to Sept. 18, according to a letter sent to the parties. The move came after the Manhattan district attorney's office said earlier Tuesday it would not oppose Trump's request to file a motion arguing that his hush money conviction should be tossed based on Monday's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. "Although we believe defendant's arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion," assistant district attorney Josh Steinglass wrote in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan. On Monday, just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling that Trump has some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election, Trump's attorneys sent a letter to Judge Merchan asking to him to "set aside the jury's verdict" in his hush money case.

LGBTQ+ residents find safe haven in Arkansas town steeped in history
A small town in Arkansas boasts a statue of Jesus, 7 stories tall, arms outstretched over a community dotted year-round with Pride flags. Eureka Springs is a town that welcomes all, a safe haven for the LGBTQ+ community. It has made history as one of the first towns in the South where gay couples have legally married. One of those was Zeek Taylor and Dick Titus, who are widely considered the first male married couple in the South. The couple moved to Eureka Springs as adults for its small-town feel and arts. "It is known as the town where misfits fit, which I like," Taylor said.
Manhattan DA won't oppose Trump filing request to have NY conviction tossed, likely delaying sentencing
The Manhattan district attorney's office said Tuesday it would not oppose former President Donald Trump's request to file a motion arguing that his hush money conviction should be tossed, a move that will almost certainly delay Trump's sentencing, which is currently set for July 11. "Although we believe defendant's arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion," assistant district attorney Josh Steinglass wrote in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan. Prosecutors asked for two weeks to respond to the defense motion. On Monday, just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling that Trump has some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election, Trump's attorneys sent a letter to Judge Merchan asking to him to "set aside the jury's verdict" in his hush money case.
Person of interest taken into custody for attempted rape of Central Park sunbather: Sources
A person of interest has been taken into custody for the attempted rape of a woman sunbathing in Central Park last month, police sources told ABC News. The man, who has not been identified, has not been charged in the June 24 attempted sexual assault of a woman, but the sources said DNA links him to the incident. The 21-year-old woman was alone and sunbathing in the Great Hill section of the park when a man came toward her exposing himself around 1:30 p.m. last Monday, New York Police Department Chief of Patrol John Chell said last week. "She screams and gets up to run," but "he tackles her from behind" and "tried to get on top of her," Chell said.
Rudy Giuliani disbarred over 'false and misleading' statements on 2020 election
Rudy Giuliani's association with former President Donald Trump has cost him his law license. The former New York City mayor was disbarred on Tuesday in a decision handed down by the Appellate Division First Department in New York. The ruling is a consequence of Giuliani's "demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump's failed effort at reelection in 2020." Giuliani claimed he believed the statements at the time he was making them but the court was not persuaded.

New details emerge in police shooting of 13-year-old New York boy
As the family of a 13-year-old boy who was killed by police in Utica, New York, demanded justice, the city's police chief alleged Monday that the teenager had a realistic-looking replica gun still in his hand when he was shot. The boy, identified as Nyah Mway, was shot once in the chest by a Utica police officer on Friday night after he and a friend were stopped on a street by officers investigating a robbery pattern, officials said. "This is very heartbreaking for the family because they lost a child," Mway's uncle, Lay Htoo, told ABC News, adding that his nephew recently graduated from the eighth grade. Htoo said the shooting has devastated his family, who moved to Utica eight years ago after escaping civil unrest in Myanmar and spending time in a refugee camp in Thailand.
Following Supreme Court ruling, Trump moves to have NY hush money conviction tossed: Sources
Hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling that President Donald Trump has some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election, Trump on Monday sought to have his conviction thrown out in his New York criminal hush money case, according to sources. Trump's lawyers said the hush money verdict should be tossed because the jury saw evidence during trial that they believe should have been protected by presidential immunity, according to a letter to Judge Juan Merchan that was described by sources to ABC News. The defense sought additional time to make their argument -- a move that could delay Trump's sentencing, which is currently scheduled for July 11. The Manhattan district attorney's office and a representative from Trump's legal team declined to comment to ABC News.
