Trump hush money sentencing delayed until after November election as he and Harris ready for first debate

The previously unidentified duo have been revealed as Donald Trump’s deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and advance team member Michael Picard, according to NPR.

Caporale previously served as an aide to first lady Melania Trump. He left the White House to work for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign. He was also a project manager for the Jan. 6 rally where Trump urged the crowd to “stop the steal” before the riot at the Capitol, according to NPR.

President Joe Biden is fiercely loyal to his friends and political allies so when tensions arose in Vice President Kamala Harris’s office in 2021 as she hemorrhaged staff, he reportedly issued a stark warning to her staffers – if they leaked negative stories he would fire them.

The president and vice president had just taken office at the time and Harris was apparently trying to figure out a sustainable management style amid large turnover, according to The Washington Post.

Staffers were reportedly frustrated with Harris’s prosecutor-like leadership style in which she asked “pointed questions” about every detail of her schedule and briefings and doled out harsh criticisms all while approaching decisions with an irksome caution.

Two leading members of the Defend Democracy Project have released a statement slamming the delay of Donald Trump’s sentencing after he was convicted of 34 felony counts related to hush money payments.

“Trump wanted to delay his sentencing for one reason only: to avoid accountability for his crimes against the American people,” Norm Eisen and Michael Podhorzer said in the statement. “Despite our respect for the judge, his decision is wrong—as proven by the fact that yesterday in DC federal court, the judge there refused to consider the political calendar in setting her schedule.”

“We’re disappointed with this contrary outcome in Manhattan, as voters deserved to see Trump face sentencing for his 2016 election interference and cover-up ahead of casting their ballots in the upcoming 2024 election,” they continued.

The National Fraternal Order of Police, the country’s largest police union, has endorsed Donald Trump for president.

“Public safety and border security will be important issues in the last months of this campaign,” Patrick Yoes, national president, said. “Our members carefully considered the positions of the candidates on the issues and there was no doubt—zero doubt—as to who they want as our President for the next four years: Donald J. Trump.”

Donald Trump will not be sentenced in his hush money case until after the presidential election in November, as the judge overseeing the criminal case against the former president moved his September 18 court date to avoid the appearance of political interference in the crucial weeks before Election Day.

Tim Walz was in full coach mode as he loomed over a hungry calf, a bottle of milk in hand.

“You got it, you got it! You’re close, sweetie. There you go,” he said, heaping encouragement onto the young cow at Maple Bottom Farm in Dawson, Pennsylvania.

The governor of Minnesota and vice presidential candidate had been dispatched on his first solo tour of the state — a “barnstorming,” in the words of his campaign — to win over voters in rural areas that have been stubbornly pro-Trump since 2016.

His pitch to rural Pennsylvanians, as told in every photo-op and stop and along the way, was simple: “I am just like you.”

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted Donald Trump on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments, has released a statement after a judge delayed the former president’s sentencing to after Election Day.

“A jury of 12 New Yorkers swiftly and unanimously convicted Donald Trump of 34 felony counts. The Manhattan D.A.’s Office stands ready for sentencing on the new date set by the court.”

A judge granted Trump’s request to move the original sentencing, set for September 18, to November 26 — three weeks after Election Day.

Donald Trump will not be sentenced in his hush money case until after the presidential election in November, as the judge overseeing the criminal case against the former president moved his September 18 court date to avoid the appearance of political interference in the crucial weeks before Election Day.

Trump, the first president to be convicted of a crime, will not face Justice Juan Merchan in a Manhattan courtroom until November 26.

In their request to delay his sentencing until after November’s election, Trump’s attorneys accused the court and prosecutors of “election interference” and argued that the timing for the September 18 court date “illustrates just how unreasonable it is to have the potential for only a single day” between the immunity decision and what they called an “unwarranted sentencing.”
