I'm Sabrina Tavernisi and this is the Daily last week, a judge in Manhattan announced he was delaying the sentencing of former President Donald Trump until after the election, in the only one of the four criminal cases that will have gone to trial.
Before voters go to the polls today, my colleague Ben protests on Trump's remarkable legal win and its limits.
It's Tuesday, September 10.
So, Ben, we got some news last week in the Trump trial that had ended in 34 felony convictions.
Tell me what happened.
So Trump was supposed to be sentenced this month, and this was all in the Manhattan criminal case where he was convicted of covering up a hush money deal with a porn star, as you might recall.
And so he faces up to four years in prison.
But on Friday, this surprise announcement comes a legal and political victory for Donald Trump.
The judge in the case, his name is Juan Roshan, he comes out and he says, actually the sentencing is going to be delayed.
New York Justice Juan Marshawn has ruled former President Donald Trump will be sentenced November 26, three weeks after the election.
And now, instead of it occurring in September, just a couple weeks from now, it's going to be scheduled for November.
Judge Marshawn, writing his decision best advances the interests of justice, noting, this matter is one that stands alone.
So really what this means is that Trump will not be sentenced prior to the election after all.
