On November 12, New York judge delayed the decision on whether President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction can withstand the Supreme Courtâ€s presidential immunity ruling. Judge Juan Merchan agreed to freeze the case until November 19 enabling prosecutors to respond to Trumpâ€s demand the case be dismissed entirely now that he is president-elect. Trumpâ€s sentencing, which would be the first of any former president, is scheduled for Nov 26. He was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment made to porn actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to conceal an affair, which he denies.
