Donald Trump's sentencing in his hush money case could be delayed until he leaves office, rather than the case being dismissed outright, prosecutors argued in a filing.

Summary

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has proposed a non-prison sentence or delaying sentencing for Donald Trump in his hush money conviction to address concerns over presidential immunity without dismissing the case.

Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in May for falsifying business records tied to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.

Bragg rejected Trump’s argument for case dismissal based on immunity as president-elect, stating no such legal protection exists and emphasizing the importance of upholding the jury’s unanimous verdict and the rule of law.

    Can’t be true. Believe it or not, Trump donated his presidential payroll back to federal agencies.

    I was SHOCKED when I first learned this. Like one of the weirdest things for him to keep his word on.
