Donald Trump's resounding election victory, a Manhattan judge is poised to decide whether to uphold the hush money verdict or dismiss it because of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in July that gave presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution, as per a report.
Judge Juan M Merchan has said he will issue a written opinion Tuesday on Trump's request to toss his conviction and either order a new trial or dismiss the indictment entirely, AP reported.
Merchan had been expected to rule in September, but put it off «to avoid any appearance» he was trying to sway the election. His decision could be on ice again if Trump takes other steps to delay or end the case.
If the judge upholds the verdict, the case would be on track for sentencing November 26 — though that could shift or vanish depending on appeals or other legal maneuvers.
Trump's lawyers have been fighting for months to reverse his conviction, which involved efforts to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels, whose affair allegations threatened to disrupt his 2016 campaign.
