Prosecutors in the Trump hush money case will not object to a delay in sentencing while the ex-president continues to fight his verdict.

• Manhattan prosecutors have agreed to postpone sentencing in Donald Trump's criminal hush money case while he attempts to overturn his conviction.
• The Supreme Court ruling that ex-presidents are entitled to "presumptive immunity" for all official acts they performed in office is linked to Trump's attempt to challenge the verdict.
• In the case concerning a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Manhattan prosecutors stated on Tuesday that they do not object to former President Donald Trump's request to delay his sentence in his criminal hush money case while he continues to challenge his conviction.

On Monday, the attorneys for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee announced their bid, linking it to the Supreme Court's recent decision that former presidents are entitled to "presumptive immunity" for all official acts they carried out while in office.

The 6-3 decision posed an immediate threat to several ongoing criminal investigations against Trump.

On May 30, the hush money case against Trump ended with his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

The case revolved around a $130,000 payment made prior to the 2016 election to porn star Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Trump while he was married.

Trump is currently set to be sentenced on July 11.

In their letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Monday, Trump's lawyers requested a July 10 deadline to submit a legal memo in support of their effort to overturn the guilty verdict.

President Trump does not object to an adjournment of the July 11, 2024 sentencing date due to the complexity of the issues presented.

On Tuesday morning, prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's office stated that they believe Trump's arguments are without merit.

The prosecutors did not object to the defendant's request for leave to file and his proposed adjournment of sentencing until his motion was decided.

The deadline for submitting their reply to Trump's proposed memo is July 24.

If Trump's sentencing date is delayed by at least several weeks, it will depend on whether Merchan grants the requests.

The Supreme Court ruled on a separate criminal case accusing Trump of illegally conspiring to overturn his defeat to President Biden in the 2020 election.

The case involving former presidents' immunity from prosecution for official acts was put on hold for months while Trump and special counsel Jack Smith debated the issue.

Federal judges in Washington, D.C., had rejected Trump's claim of immunity for all official acts.

The Supreme Court's six-member conservative majority ruled Monday that ex-presidents have "at least presumptive immunity from prosecution" for those acts.

The three liberal justices on the court, including Sonia Sotomayor, strongly opposed the decision and expressed their concerns in a dissent, stating their "fear for our democracy."
