Breaking News: Manhattan prosecutors agreed to delay Donald Trump’s criminal sentencing to weigh whether the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencingwww.nytimes.com Donald J. Trump’s lawyers want to argue that a Supreme Court decision giving presidents immunity for official acts should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

How in the wide world of sports could laundering money through his business to cover up an affair for his campaign possibly be deemed an "official act" of the president?

Especially since he was not yet president then.

Maybe the argument goes that he was president at the time the reimbursements were paid to Cohen. It's a very flimsy argument that should not hold water.

It's the Hoover Dam if John Roberts squints just right.
