NEW YORK — Manhattan prosecutors Tuesday said they will oppose a request by Donald Trump’s lawyers to dismiss his 34-count felony conviction but suggested they were open to postponing proceedings in the case until after the president-elect’s second term in the White House.
In a letter submitted to the court, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office acknowledged the significant change in circumstances due to Trump’s election win Nov. 5. Trump, who will take office Jan. 20 and serve until early 2029, had been scheduled for sentencing next week and faced up to four years in prison.
