Manhattan prosecutors are asking for a further pause in the criminal trial against President-elect Donald Trump in order to give both sides time to weigh the unprecedented nature of the situation.
Donald Trump sits in a Manhattan criminal courtroom with members of his legal team for the continuation of his hush money trial on April 25, 2024 in New York City.
The judge had last week paused Trump's sentencing in the case, which had been pushed to Nov. 26, to give both sides more time to make their arguments.The prosecutors' office asked for a December 9 deadline for the next filing, focused on whether the case should be dismissed. The judge is likely to acquiesce to the request as both the defense and prosecution appear to be in agreement.
"The People deeply respect the Office of the President, are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that Defendant's inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions. We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system," the filing said.
