Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Trump had previously requested the judge to postpone his sentencing until after the November 5 election.
Previously, the verdict in the Trump case was supposed to be issued on September 18 - almost two months before the presidential election.
Trump's lawyers had argued in August that there would not be enough time before the sentencing for a possible appeal of the judge's ruling on Trump's request to overturn the conviction because of the Supreme Court's historic ruling on presidential immunity.
The Supreme Court's ruling, which was related to another criminal case Trump is facing, says that presidents cannot be prosecuted for their official actions and that evidence of the president's official actions cannot be used to prove criminal cases related to the actions. To be used informally.
Prosecutors have argued that the case concerns Trump's personal conduct, not his official actions; Therefore, there is no reason to cancel the sentence, but they did not take a position regarding Trump's request to delay the issuance of the sentence and announced on August 16 that they would leave this matter to the judge.
