Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump’s NY Election Interference Sentencing Pushed to After Nov. Election

HeadlineSep 09, 2024

Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money election interference case has been pushed back until November 26 — weeks after the presidential election. New York Judge Juan Merchan made the ruling on Friday, on the same day Trump appeared in a different New York courtroom as his lawyers attempted to overturn his sexual abuse conviction in the E. Jean Carroll case. Trump later held a press conference where he assailed Carroll and another woman, Jessica Leeds, who had accused him of sexual misconduct.

Donald Trump: “It couldn’t have happened. It didn’t happen. And she would not have been the chosen one. She would not have been the chosen one.”

On Saturday, Donald Trump also posted a message on social media threatening to jail opponents if he wins the election. He wrote, “When I win, those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials.” This all comes as Trump prepares for Tuesday’s debate against Kamala Harris.
