Trump's criminal sentencing delayed until after election

Donald Trump’s sentencing in his Manhattan hush money criminal trial has been postponed until after the November election.

Trump's lawyers have used several legal manoeuvres to delay the sentencing, which was scheduled for 18 September.

They asked the judge to postpone the sentence until after the election, and later made an unsuccessful second attempt to move the case to federal court.

On Friday, Justice Juan Merchan delayed the sentencing to 26 November.
