The judge in Donald Trump’s trial for hidden payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels suspended sentencing scheduled for November 26 indefinitely on Thursday.
On November 5, Donald Trump not only won the American elections, he also found a solution to one of his convictions. While he was found guilty on May 30 of “aggravated accounting falsification” In the Stormy Daniels affairthe president-elect sees the sentencing suspended indefinitely.
Judge Juan Merchan, who had already postponed the sentencing by a week, announced his decision this Friday. He authorized Donald Trump’s lawyers to present an appeal by December 2 to obtain the annulment of the procedure and therefore therefore suspends the pronouncement of the sentence, as they requested.
As a reminder, Trump paid the porn star $130,000 at the very end of his victorious 2016 campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, in order to prevent a sex scandal from breaking out.
Freezing of prosecutions against Trump considered
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 presidential election candidatean unprecedented scenario in American History.
