Decision on Trump sentencing date in "hush money" case coming Friday, prosecutors say

A New York judge is expected to say Friday when former President Donald Trump will be sentenced for falsifying business records to cover up a "hush money" payment to an adult film star.

Trump has twice sought to delay sentencing after his conviction in May by a unanimous jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. 

He was originally scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, but Justice Juan Merchan pushed back that date to Sept. 18 after Trump motioned for the judge to set aside his conviction. Trump cited a Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have immunity for "official acts," and evidence related to presidential work cannot be included in criminal trials.
