Former U.S. President Trump, facing 34 counts in the hush money case, had the verdict announcement postponed from July 11 to September 18, just after the second round of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election debate on September 10. The delay is to consider the potential impact of a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Trump's lawyers requested the New York judge to delay the verdict post the ruling, which grants broad immunity protection for official acts by the president. These developments may play a crucial role in Trump's legal challenges amid the 2024 election process.
