The court has postponed Donald Trump's Nov. 26 sentencing in his New York hush money case as the judge considers next steps following the former president's reelection victory.
On Tuesday, the sentencing was abruptly canceled without explanation in a brief court notice, according to Bloomberg.
The timing coincided with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's deadline to submit his recommendation on how the case should proceed.
The fate of the hush money case remains uncertain, with the potential for sentencing, a four-year delay, or outright dismissal still unresolved.
Trump's attorney argued in a letter to the court last week that there are compelling reasons for dismissal, while DA Bragg's office emphasized that the jury's verdict must also be taken into account.
In late May, Trump's legal journey encountered a significant milestone when a jury found him guilty on 34 counts. These charges, about the falsification of business records, were to conceal a payment made to silence a porn star, adding salacious details to an already sensational trial.
The resultant appeal against a gag order that was placed on him represented one of several strategies that Trump's legal team undertook. They argued that the rationale for the gag order's imposition no longer remained valid with the trial's conclusion.
