Donald Trump hush money sentencing delayed over immunity ruling

A judge has delayed sentencing Donald Trump due to his conviction over falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels.

The Republican presidential candidate nominee was told during a hearing at a court in New York that he will now be sentenced on September 18.

It comes after Trump’s legal team lodged a challenge to his conviction and a US Supreme Court ruled yesterday he is partially immune from prosecution for actions taken while he was in the White House.

He was originally due to be sentenced on 11 July.
