Judge Juan Merchan was scheduled to issue a decision Tuesday on whether the Supreme Court's broad presidential immunity ruling means Trump's 34 felony convictions must be tossed out. But the pause on the case until Nov. 19, which was made public Tuesday, means that ruling won't come this week.

New York Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday agreed to give Manhattan prosecutors and Donald Trump’s lawyers a week to hash out how to proceed in Trump’s hush money case now that Trump has been reelected, raising new questions of whether Trump will ever be sentenced after being convicted in May.

The borough's next district attorney, Alvin Bragg, took up the case but narrowed its focus, bringing it back to the "hush money" deal. On March 31, 2023, a grand jury made Trump the first ever former, and future, president indicted for crimes.
