The DA now says he'll fight to keep the case from being dismissed — a fight that could delay sentencing until 2029. Manhattan prosecutors will fight to keep Donald Trump's hush-money case alive, District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a court filing on Tuesday.

The Manhattan district attorney said Tuesday it would agree to postpone Donald Trump’s sentencing to give them time to litigate the President-elect’s expected motion to dismiss the hush money case.

In a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, Manhattan prosecutors said they intend to oppose Trump’s forthcoming motion to dismiss, but they agreed to pause further proceedings while that motion is litigated.
