Deep dives

Delay in Hush Money Case

Prosecutors have requested a delay in Donald Trump's hush money case, which has shifted the timeline significantly for Trump’s legal challenges. Initially facing potential imprisonment, the delay pushes sentencing to a later date, allowing Trump to continue his presidency uninterrupted. This move is influenced by a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding presidential immunity in criminal cases, creating uncertainty for prosecutors about how to proceed. As a result, Trump's legal team is advocating for a case dismissal, arguing that some evidence presented should be considered inadmissible under the new legal precedent.
