Summary
In a somewhat surprising twist, after winning 34 felony convictions against Donald Trump for his efforts to cheat in the 2016 presidential election by criminally falsifying business records, DA Alvin Bragg's prosecutors have filed a letter with Judge Juan Merchan saying they "defer to the court" on whether Trump's sentencing, (presently set for September 18th), should be delayed until after the election. Why would prosecutors defer to the court on such a weighty issue? There's a clue in the two-page letter prosecutors filed with the court as to what's really driving this unexpected position.
