LOADING ERROR LOADINGFormer President Donald Trump’s hush money sentencing will be delayed until September after his request to throw out his conviction. Judge Juan Merchan set a new sentencing date of Sept. 18, according to a Tuesday court filing. AdvertisementThe delay comes after Trump’s attorneys wrote a letter to Merchan asking that his conviction be thrown out. That last-ditch effort to wriggle out of accountability comes after the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision Monday that Trump has full immunity for “official acts” he took as president. Trump made hush money payments to porn actor Stormy Daniels in the days before the 2016 presidential election, making it unlikely that the Supreme Court decision would apply.
