Bragg Now on Board with September 18 Sentencing for Trump

Alvin Bragg, Manhattan’s elected progressive Democratic district attorney, appears to have shifted his position on the impending September 18 sentencing date for Donald Trump. The subtle but noticeable change is apparent in a letter from the DA’s office — written last week but docketed this morning.

As I’ve previously detailed, when Trump first moved to postpone the sentencing in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling (in the Biden-Harris administration’s federal prosecution of Trump in Washington, D.C.), Bragg’s office told Judge Juan Merchan that it did not object to a postponement.
