The Spin

Democratic narrative

Merchan's decision to delay Trump's sentencing — apparently to avoid the unwarranted claims of a political motive — may or may not affect the outcome of the presidential race, but it means the election will be decided without voters knowing if the Republican nominee will face jail time. Trump should have been sentenced on Sept. 18; this delay only boosts his chances and fuels the false narrative that there was no case and he did nothing wrong.

CNNRaw Story

Republican narrative

Seeking to sentence Trump in the thick of his presidential campaign is nothing other than election interference — a politically motivated witch hunt rigged by the left. Prosecutors can neither show that Trump made the false business records with intent to commit fraud nor prove that Trump falsified the entries to commit or cover up a separate crime. This case should be terminated as the allegations were false, and the shreds of evidence were fabricated.
