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.
