'Adjourn, adjourn, adjourn' — Trump is expected to use new status as president-elect to delay hush-money sentencing

Donald Trump will use his new status as president-elect in a renewed effort to challenge his upcoming sentencing on his hush-money conviction, legal experts predict.

Trump is expected to ask the trial judge to adjourn the November 26 sentencing because he's too busy ahead of assuming office.

He faces as little as no jail time and as much as four years prison for falsifying business records to hide a $ 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels made two weeks before the election.

Even if the sentencing happens before Inauguration Day , it's highly unlikely that Trump will get a jail sentence.

Any sentence Merchan metes out would be put on hold, or "stayed," pending Trump 's appeal of his conviction, experts said.

Trump 's campaign and lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
