The wait for Trump's sentencing on his 34 felony convictions in New York will continue after Judge Juan Merchan agreed to postpone sentencing, at the request of radical Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
"Given the need to balance competing constitutional interests, consideration must be given to various non-dismissal options that may address any concerns raised by the pendency of a post-trial criminal proceeding during the presidency, such as deferral of all remaining criminal proceedings until after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term," Bragg wrote.
Prosecutors have requested a stay in the case until 2029 after Trump's presidential term, while the defense plans to file a motion calling for dismissal, once and for all.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital that "this is a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American People who elected him in a landslide."
"The Manhattan DA has conceded that this Witch Hunt cannot continue," Cheung, who was tapped to serve as White House communications director, said. "The lawless case is now stayed, and President Trump’s legal team is moving to get it dismissed once and for all."
