Trump Benar-benar Diuntungkan Putusan MA, Sidang Hukuman Hush Money Ditunda Hingga 18 September
JAKARTA - The judge of the criminal case of closing his mouth, former President Donald Trump in New York, postponed his sentencing trial until September 18. Initially, Trump's trial was held July 11.
The move comes after the Manhattan prosecutor's office said it would not oppose Trump's request to file a motion on the punishment of silenced money must be canceled based on the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity.
"While we believe the defendant's argument is baseless, we are not against his request for permission to submit and his alleged request to postpone the sentence pending his motion," assistant regional prosecutor Josh Steinglass wrote in a letter to Judge Juan Mercan.
On Monday, just hours after the US Supreme Court issued an important decision on Trump having the president's immunity from criminal charges over the actions taken to cancel the 2020 election results, Trump's lawyers sent a letter to Judge Merchant.
Lawyers asked to "set aside human rights the jury's decision" in the case of silence money.
Judge Merchant, in his response on Tuesday, signaled to the parties he would decide Trump's proposal to cancel his sentence on September 6.
