In a significant legal development, a New York judge has decided to postpone the sentencing of former President Donald Trump until after the upcoming U.S. presidential election, originally scheduled for September 18. Trump, who is running for re-election as the Republican candidate, had requested this delay, citing the timing of the case in relation to his campaign. Judge Juan Merchan, presiding over the case, confirmed on Friday that the sentencing will now take place on November 26, unless the case is dismissed earlier. Trump’s legal team had argued that there wouldn’t be sufficient time for them to challenge a potential ruling in the case before the sentencing, particularly given the pending decision on a motion regarding presidential immunity.

President Joe Biden has urged Congress to take decisive action on gun control, calling for stronger measures to address the ongoing crisis of gun violence in the United States. Speaking from the White House on Thursday, Biden asked lawmakers to prioritize legislation aimed at curbing access to assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. “How many more lives must be lost before we say enough is enough?” Biden implored during his remarks. He emphasized the need for immediate reforms, including raising the minimum age to purchase assault weapons from 18 to 21 and strengthening background checks. These proposals, according to Biden, are “reasonable measures” that could save lives. The debate over gun control reignited following the devastating mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde...
