Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg does not object to a judge in New York postponing Donald Trump‘s sentencing hearing for the former president’s hush money conviction, according to a court filing made public on Monday.
Prosecutors instead said they would leave the decision to delay Trump’s sentencing date, which is scheduled for Sept. 18, up to Judge Juan Merchan.
“The People defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule that allows for adequate time to adjudicate defendant’s [presidential immunity] motion while also pronouncing sentence ‘without unreasonable delay,’” prosecutors wrote.

The prosecutors’ position on sentencing Trump, who could face jail time for his conviction of 34 counts of falsifying business records, comes after the former president requested last week that Merchan push the sentencing hearing out past the presidential election.
