New York Court Delays Trump Felony Sentencing Trial Until Sept. 18 
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, a Manhattan judge has postponed Donald Trump's felony
sentencing trial until September 18. Trump was convicted on 34 felony
charges of attempting to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential
election by falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments
made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The delay gives Trump's lawyers
more time to persuade a judge the conviction should be thrown out
following the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that Trump has broad
immunity from prosecution for official acts he committed as president.
