A New York court’s decision on whether or not to uphold Trump’s criminal conviction is delayed yet again.
All decisions are postponed until at least 19 November, when prosecutors have asked to advise the court on what they see as the appropriate next steps.
Justice Juan Merchan granted a request from both Trump’s lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors to stay any current deadlines for another week while they sort through the unprecedented legal quandary before them.
“The people agree that these are unprecedented circumstances,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote to the court.
We were expecting Justice Merchan to rule today whether to uphold the conviction and proceed to sentencing, or throw it out on the grounds of the US Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity. Now the wait continues.
