NYC Judge Merchan Pauses All Deadlines In Trump Case

Judge Juan Merchan has paused all deadlines in President-elect Donald Trump’s New York case, including the sentencing date scheduled for later this month.

Merchan granted a joint request from prosecutors and defense attorneys to delay the case until November 19. This postpones his decision on Trump’s motion to dismiss the verdict on the grounds of presidential immunity, a ruling that was originally set to be issued on Tuesday, the Daily Caller reported.

Prosecutors requested Merchan pause proceedings to allow them to evaluate the impact of Trump’s election victory.

“The People agree that these are unprecedented circumstances and that the arguments raised by defense counsel in correspondence to the People on Friday require careful consideration to ensure that any further steps in this proceeding appropriately balance the competing interests of (1) a jury verdict of guilt following trial that has the presumption of regularity; and (2) the Office of the President,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote in a Nov. 10 email to Merchan.

Trump’s defense attorneys joined the request, arguing dismissal of the case is required to “avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump’s ability to govern.”

Trump had also been scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 26.
