TechFlow news — On November 20, according to The Washington Post, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office stated it will oppose former President Donald Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss his conviction on 34 felony counts, but indicated a willingness to delay proceedings until after the conclusion of his potential second presidential term. Trump had been scheduled to be sentenced as early as next week, facing up to four years in prison.
In a letter filed with the court, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office acknowledged significant changes in circumstances following Trump’s victory in the November 5 election. Prosecutors requested a pause in proceedings until after December 9, by which time they would file a formal response to Trump’s anticipated motion to dismiss the case.
Earlier this year, a jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments made to an adult film actress. In the filing, prosecutors emphasized that there is currently no established legal precedent requiring the dismissal of post-conviction criminal proceedings against unofficial conduct based on claims of temporary presidential immunity.
