Source: Alvin Bragg Wants Donald Trump’s Sentencing Postponed – Newsweek
New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg sent a letter to the judge overseeing President-elect Donald Trump‘s hush money case, saying that he will oppose the Republican‘s motion for dismissal and asking for the case to be continued until December 9.
“The People believe that the court should set a motion schedule for Defendant’s forthcoming motion to dismiss, which the people intend to oppose,” the letter, shown below, reads.
“Assuming Defendant is permitted by the court to file a motion to dismiss and does so promptly, the People ask that their response to defendant’s motion be due on Monday, December 9.
“The People believe that further proceedings before this Court should be adjourned to permit litigation of Defendant’s forthcoming motion to dismiss and, therefore, the People would not oppose a defense motion for a stay of further proceedings before this Court while Defendant’s motion is adjudicated.”
The letter comes after an automated schedule alert caused some confusion as to whether the case had been put back.
The Manhattan district attorney told Fox News that a Bloomberg report on Tuesday claiming that Trump’s sentencing for 34 criminal charges has been “adjourned” was not correct. The message came from a court email about all dates staying as slated.
