The announcement of the judgment against Trump is postponed until after the

The announcement of the verdict against the former American president, Donald Trump, in the criminal case for buying silence, has been postponed until after the end of the presidential elections in November.

Judge Juan Merchan said Friday that he has postponed sentencing until Nov. 26, among other things, because of "the particular time frame in which this case finds itself."

Lawyers for Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, have used several legal maneuvers to delay the announcement of the ruling, which was scheduled for September 18.

Trump was found guilty in May by a New York court of all 34 charges he faced for falsifying the company's business records, becoming the first US president or former president to be convicted of a felony. In his ruling Friday, Judge Merchan wrote that Trump's case requires "that the sentencing hearing be fully focused on the jury's verdict."

Trump could be sentenced to up to four years in prison, but Judge Merchan has the power to sentence him to a fine, probation, or a short prison sentence.

He has repeatedly denied any accusation and described the trial against him as "shameful".

Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through payments to silence a porn actress who said she had sex with him.

He was charged with 34 felony counts, including forging 11 invoices, 12 coupons and 11 checks, to conceal a $130,000 payment he made to Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about her allegations of wrongdoing. sexual relationship with Trump in 2006.

Daniels wanted to speak publicly about the alleged sexual relationship with Trump a month before the 2016 election, which would have damaged the Republican nominee's presidential campaign.
