The New York City court overseeing the secret money laundering case has postponed Trump's sentencing date.

Donald Trump got some good news before he officially took office as president. The New York City court overseeing the secret money laundering case has postponed Trump's sentencing date.

Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on November 26, but it is now on hold. The judge said, "There will be no sentencing next week." Instead, he will hear arguments on why the case should be dismissed.

According to an order issued by Judge Juan Marchán on Friday (November 22), no new date has been set for a possible sentencing. It has been postponed indefinitely.

Trump is accused of trying to cover up a secret payment incident just before the 2016 presidential election. Trump was convicted in a New York court in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Although Trump has always denied these charges.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office recently opposed dismissing Trump's case, but prosecutors have argued for delaying Trump's sentencing until after his upcoming term ends.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump's lawyers asked the judge to dismiss the case before Trump takes office.
