According to The New York Post, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan has postponed the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump in his New York City “hush money” trial. Merchan is also open to dropping the case altogether.

From The New York Post:

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said he’ll consider claims from Trump’s lawyers that pressing on with such a case involving a president-elect would interfere with the “orderly transition of executive power” and be “uniquely destabilizing” to the country.

The decision to pause Trump’s sentencing makes it overwhelmingly likely that the president-elect will re-enter the White House largely unscathed by the four criminal cases that had threatened to derail his campaign or even put him behind bars.

Judge Merchan ordered Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Trump’s lawyers to file their arguments in December on whether the case should be tossed, before the court issues its decision.

Bragg has argued that the verdict should stand because the case was brought when Trump was a private citizen.
