The judge who presided over Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York agreed on Tuesday to postpone Trump's sentencing hearing as he considers a challenge stemming from the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity.
Justice Juan Merchan informed Trump's lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors of his decision to delay the July 11 sentencing in response to a pair of letters from the two sides following the Supreme Court's ruling on Monday. The high court found that former presidents enjoy broad immunity for official acts. https://cbsn.ws/3VKUS4R
