Trump will be free to attend Republican Convention

Trump free to attend convention as New York sentencing date pushed back

"Donald Trump was set to face sentencing in a New York City courtroom on July 11 for 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Yet thanks to a recent Supreme Court decision, Trump's lawyers were able to get the sentencing date overturned. Defense cites Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

According to NBC News, the Trump defense team sent a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on the same day that America's highest judicial body ruled on presidential immunity.

The defense attorneys maintained that the ruling provides grounds for dismissal of Trump's conviction and asked that their client's sentencing date be postponed to facilitate a hearing.

Merchan ultimately announced that the former president is to be sentenced on September 18, with NBC News pointing out that this ensures Trump will be free to attend the Republican National Convention, which begins on July 15 in Milwaukee.
