Published: 11:08 PM, 19 Nov, 2024The judge in Donald Trump's New York criminal case is expected to decide Tuesday whether the US President-elect will face sentencing, or escape punishment despite being convicted by a jury.
Trump, who had been scheduled to be sentenced on November 26, may receive a reprieve if Judge Juan Merchan decides to dismiss the case following the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity. "The stay and dismissal are necessary to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump's ability to govern," one of Trump's lawyers, Emil Bove, wrote to the court last week.
On Tuesday, the prosecution said it was open to a further delay to sentencing while the court considered Trump's effort to dismiss the case outright. Trump's former attorney general Bill Barr said that both the New York case as well as others around the country had been"plainly brought for political purposes have now been extensively aired and rejected in the court of public opinion."
However, as president, he would be able to intervene to end those cases, and Smith, the special counsel handling both cases, has reportedly begun to wind them down.
