00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:03Former President Trump is seeking to delay his sentencing in his hush money criminal
00:06case until after the 2024 presidential election.
00:10His lawyers argue the current September 18th sentencing date advances prosecutors' election
00:14interference objectives.
00:16Trump was originally scheduled to be sentenced on July 11th, but Judge Wadmer Chan delayed
00:20it to September 16th to rule on Trump's immunity claim with sentencing two days later.
00:25Trump's lawyers question if sentencing should occur after early voting starts, arguing the
00:29timing harms the integrity of proceedings.
00:32Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to an $130,000 hush
00:37money payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
