Trump Requests Sentencing Delay; Vance and Walz Agree to Debate; 1 Arrested Over Matthew Perry Death

Former President Donald Trump is asking the judge in his New York criminal case to delay his sentencing until after the November presidential election. In a letter made public Thursday, a lawyer for Trump suggested that sentencing Trump as scheduled on Sept. 18 — about seven weeks before Election Day — would amount to election interference.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) have agreed to debate each other on Oct. 1, setting up a matchup of potential vice presidents as early voting in some states gets underway for the general election. Meanwhile, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he has no plans to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President.

Authorities have arrested at least one person in connection with actor Matthew Perry's death from an accidental ketamine overdose last year. Los Angeles police said that they were working with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service with a probe into why the 54-year-old had so much of the surgical anesthetic in his system.
