Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election Day
The decision by Justice Juan M. Merchan means voters will be left in the dark about whether the former president will face time behind bars.
The judge overseeing Donald J. Trump’s criminal case in Manhattan postponed his sentencing until after Election Day, a significant victory for the former president as he seeks to overturn his conviction and win back the White House.
In a ruling on Friday, the judge, Juan M. Merchan, rescheduled the sentencing for Nov. 26. He had previously planned to hand down Mr. Trump’s punishment on Sept. 18, just seven weeks before Election Day, when Mr. Trump will face off against Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency.
While the decision will avert a courtroom spectacle in the campaign’s final stretch, the delay itself could still affect the election, keeping voters in the dark about whether the Republican presidential nominee will eventually spend time behind bars.

Bitch-ass move.
Agreed. Fucking cowards.
This entire process is so demoralizing watching a billionaire dodge justice.
He’s not a billionaire, unless you count all his debts.
Fair. Ex-billionaire :)
