The case concerning concealed payments from Donald Trump to porn actress Stormy Daniels experienced a new twist this Friday. The judge in charge of the trial indefinitely suspended the sentencing which was scheduled for November 26.
An expected decision. The judge at Donald Trump's trial in New York for hidden payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels on Thursday suspended sentencing scheduled for November 26. At this time, no other date for the sentencing session has been communicated.
Judge Juan Merchan authorizes the lawyers of the American president-elect to present an appeal by December 2 to obtain the annulment of the procedure and therefore suspends the pronouncement of the sentence. As a reminder, Donald Trump was found guilty on May 30 in this case of “aggravated accounting falsification to conceal a conspiracy to pervert the 2016 election.” The 47th President of the United States is accused of having hidden from voters the payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels. The goal was to prevent a sex scandal from breaking out at the very end of his victorious campaign in 2016 against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
prosecutions frozen until the end of the Trump mandate?
The announcement of this suspension is not really a surprise since the Manhattan prosecutor's office opened the way on Tuesday for this new postponement. Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg had indicated in a court document that he would oppose an outright annulment of the procedure, but that this question deserved to be examined, which would provoke a new postponement of the sentence.
Going in line with the defense lawyers, Alvin Bragg even recognized that freezing all prosecutions “until the end of the presidential term” of the 47th President of the United States must be considered.
Of the four criminal proceedings targeting Donald Trump, this case is the only one in which a trial was held for the candidate in the November 5 presidential election which he won, an unprecedented scenario in American history.
A matter that Donald Trump could therefore put behind him until the end of his presidential term, in 2028. For the moment, the future president of the United States continues to constitute his future government with the announcement of the new Minister of the Justice, Pam Bondi.
