 The delay is a win for Trump, who is expected to be named the official GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election later this month. Trump's legal team on July 1st requested a delay in his sentencing after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents, as well as former presidents, have broad immunity from prosecution for official acts in office. The next day, prosecutors for the Manhattan District Attorney said in a letter to New York Judge Juan Merchan that though they believe the arguments for a delay are without merit, they will not oppose the request.
