Judge Juan Merchan has postponed the sentencing hearing for President-elect Trump and set a new deadline for the defense lawyers to submit arguments as to why the case should be dismissed now that Trump has won re-election.

Judge Juan Merchan on Friday said he is going to let Donald Trump file a motion to dismiss the hush money case in which the president-elect was found guilty, in a move that further pushes off a possible sentencing that had been tentatively set for next week.
