NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Manhattan district attorney's office said Tuesday it would not oppose former President Trump's request to file a motion arguing his conviction should be tossed, a move that will almost certainly delay Trump's sentencing, which is currently set for July 11.
In a letter filed with the New York court, prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said they would be open to a two-week delay in the July 11 sentencing in order to file a response to Trump's motions.
"Although we believe defendant's arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion," assistant district attorney Josh Steinglass wrote in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan.
Prosecutors asked for two weeks to respond to the defense motion.
