Donald Trump's New York hush money sentencing in jeopardy as case deadlines paused

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

30% : It's unclear what Tuesday's decision to pause the current deadlines means for whether Trump will ever be sentenced.
30% : Trump was found guilty May 30 of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in order to cover up a hush money payment to buy porn star Stormy Daniels' silence ahead of the 2016 presidential election about an alleged sexual encounter between them.
16% : If Trump does face a sentencing hearing, Merchan has a wide set of options, including not imposing a sentence, ordering community service, or sending Trump to prison.
16% : That would mean delaying the Georgia state prosecution against Trump for his alleged 2020 election interference past his next presidential term, and has uncertain implications for Trump's post-conviction New York proceedings.
