Manhattan D.A. suggests postponing Trump's sentence until he's out of office

For this episode of Trump's Trials, All Things Considered host Juana Summers speaks with NPR reporter Ximena Bustillo.

Manhattan judge Juan Marchand is struggling with the question of what to do with the criminal conviction against President-elect Donald Trump.

With Trump headed back to the White House, his lawyers are asking Marchand to throw out the case. But in a letter to the court on Tuesday, Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg seems to be suggesting the court should wait until Trump's second term is over to sentence him.
