Prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's New York hush money case have said they are open to delaying his July 11 sentencing hearing after a Supreme Court ruling granted Trump some immunity from prosecution.
"Although we do believe the case to be without merit, we do not oppose his request," prosecutors said in the letter obtained by The Associated Press. The filing comes just one day after lawyers for the former president asked Judge Juan Merchan to set aside Trump's conviction and delay his sentencing, citing Monday's Supreme Court ruling that former, current, and future presidents are entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for official acts taken as president. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court returned lower court rulings and stated that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers.
