Prosecutor won't oppose Trump sentencing delay in hush money case after high court immunity ruling

Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday they would not oppose Donald Trump's request to delay the sentencing in his hush money trial as he seeks to have the conviction overturned following a Supreme Court ruling that granted broad immunity protections to presidents.

In a letter filed with the New York court, prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said they would be open to a two-week delay in the July 11 sentencing in order to file a response to Trump's motions.

"Although we do believe the case to be without merit, we do not oppose his request" to delay the sentencing pending determination of the motion, the prosecutors wrote.
