The judge overseeing Donald Trump's New York criminal trial approved a delay of Trump's sentencing after his lawyers asked for more time to argue how the Supreme Court's immunity decision impacts the case. The sentencing hearing was scheduled for July 11th but has now been delayed until at least September 18th. Trump's legal team contends that the use of evidence regarding his "official acts" at trial was improper following a Supreme Court ruling on immunity. Judge Juan Merchan is set to rule on the admissibility of evidence on September 6th. If evidence is ruled inadmissible, the judge could order a new trial.
