Judge Merchan Delays Ruling on Progress of Criminal Hush-Money Until 19 November
TRUMP Hush-Money Judge Delays Ruling on Whether to Throw Out Conviction
Judge Juan Merchan told Trumps lawyers on Tuesday that hed delay the ruling until 19 November.

Postponement follows numerous successful attempts to delay case where he was convicted on 34 felony counts
Donald Trumps return to the White House effectively slammed the door on the two cases involving federal criminal charges against him.
A state case against him for allegedly conspiring to interfere with Georgias election in 2020 will go on hold until after his present term in office ends - if it's still alive by then.
But next week, the fate of the remaining case his conviction on 34 felony counts in New York will be determined. It could stand, or it could be swept away in the same political and legal tide that has allowed him to escape the others.
Justice Juan Merchan will decide by Tuesday whether to grant Trumps pre-election request to throw out his conviction. Should Justice Merchan side with Trump, it would almost wipe clean his slate of criminal woes.
But should the judge uphold the conviction, he would proceed to sentencing later this month. It would likely spark even more delay attempts from Trump and open up an unprecedented new front for Americas crazy criminal justice system.
Trumps election victory has derailed his other criminal cases. Special prosecutor Jack Smith is winding down the federal election interference, and classified documents, cases against Trump.
The state-level election case in Fulton county, Georgia, is on hold pending appeal, following revelations that district attorney Fani Willis had hired as a prosecutor a man with whom she had an affair. Even if the proceeding survived appeal, proceedings are all but guaranteed to languish until 2029.
