i've been speaking with our correspondent helena humphrey in washington about the significance of therump's sentencing. i think it will be interesting to look at the potential political impact, as opposed to just the legal impact of this delay. so essentially what's happened here is that the sentencing will be delayed from 11 july, when we were expecting it until 18 september. and that is because donald trump's legal campaign team have said that what they want to be able to do is put more evidence forward from his time in office. now, this is key because, of course, with that supreme court ruling with regards to presidential immunity, they say that this could have a bearing in that case. now, judgejuan merchan, for his part, has said that he doesn't think that this argument will have merit. however, they will allow donald trump's legal team to file it. so essentially this is about optics. and if we then see this sentencing as we will delay to september instead of being in the summer at a time that we know that president biden and the biden campaign is having a more difficult time, bas
