AP News · Donald Trump hush money case sentencing delayed until after electionBy MICHAEL R. SISAK

@jrefior To be fair, we knew this was coming since June.

How so?

"The sentencing had been scheduled for Sept. 18, about seven weeks before Election Day."

It's not obvious that the SCOTUS immunity decision applies to this case.

"Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records"
