NEW YORK (NewsNation) — A day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled former President Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution for official acts, the former president’s sentencing date in his hush money case has been moved to Sep. 18, 2024.

Judge Juan Merchan announced that he would issue a decision on the immunity ruling on Sep. 6, 2024, and a sentencing, if still necessary, would be held on Sep. 18 at 10:00 a.m.

On Truth Social, Trump called the decision “total exoneration” and said the recent Supreme Court decision ends all cases against him. Merchan has not yet ruled on if or how the ruling will apply to the New York case.

Trump’s original sentencing was scheduled for July 11, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said in a letter filed Tuesday that prosecutors were open to delaying it for up to two weeks.

“Although we believe the defendant’s arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion,” the statement said.

The response came a day after Trump’s attorneys requested the sentencing be delayed so the court could weigh how the Supreme Court’s decision could influence the New York hush money case.

At the end of May, the former president was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to keep information from voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
