New York judge delays Trump immunity ruling in hush money case
A judge in New York has postponed a ruling on President-elect Donald Trump’s request for immunity in his hush money conviction case.
Trump’s legal team argues that as president-elect, he should be protected by presidential immunity.
They are urging for dismissal.
Judge Juan Merchan granted a delay until Nov. 19 for prosecutors to respond to Trump’s dismissal motion.
Trump was convicted of 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records to cover hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
If upheld, Trump’s sentencing will mark the first sentencing of a former president.
The decision echoes Trump’s federal cases, with one on hold in Washington, regarding the 2020 election.
Another case is suspended in Georgia over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election’s outcome.
