The judge who must establish the sentence against the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, for the falsification of documents to hide a payment to the former porn actress Stormy Daniels has announced this Friday the ‘sine die’ postponement of the hearing in which it will be seen if the tycoon is finally sentenced to a prison sentence.
The sentence was scheduled to be announced next week, on November 26, but Judge Juan Merchan has given more room to the parties so that they can present their arguments in favor against the case continuing to advance. Trump’s defense You have until December 2 for these allegations, while the Prosecutor’s Office must present them before the 9th, according to NBC News.
Trump was convicted last April for a total of 34 chargeswhen he was not even confirmed as the official candidate of the Republican Party for the White House. The judge held him responsible for concealing a payment of $130,000 to Steffanie Clifford, better known as ‘Stormy Daniels’, so that she would not speak of an alleged extramarital relationship shortly before the 2016 elections.
In between, and waiting to know what the sentence will be in this case – it can reach four years in prison – the tycoon has also gotten some oxygen with a ruling from the Supreme Court that grants him at least a certain degree of immunity for his first stage as president, which has forced the Prosecutor’s Office to correct his accusation in another open trial for electoral interference.
Trump’s lawyers, some of whom have already been promised positions in the future Department of Justice, now insist in the file of the entire process to the extent that whoever sits on the bench is already an elected leader. He will return to the White House on January 20, the date of the inauguration.
