Good morning. I'm Taylor Wilson.

And today is Wednesday, November 20th, 2024.

This is the excerpt.

Today, the latest in Trump's hush money sentencing post-election,

plus what's next for Ukraine aid in the final weeks of the Biden administration,

and what immigrant advocates are worried about when it comes to children under Trump immigration plans. Prosecutors advised a New York judge yesterday to delay President-elect Donald Trump's criminal

sentencing in his hush money case following the election, but said they will still fight against

Trump's efforts to get the case dismissed. Judge Juan Mershahn already put the November 26th

sentencing date and other deadlines in the case on hold at the joint request of prosecutors and Trump's legal defense team earlier this month.

In its filing yesterday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office raised the question of whether any sentencing would now be appropriate before Trump's next presidency ends.

The office recommended Mershant set a schedule for Trump to file

a formal request to have the case dismissed and allow prosecutors to respond by December 9th.

It said it plans to oppose Trump's request and that other proceedings in the case should be adjourned

until the request is dealt with.

Ukraine used U.S. missiles to strike deeper into Russian territory this week after President

Joe Biden lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range U.S. weapons.

So what's next for Ukraine aid going forward as we move toward a new administration?
