Judge Delays Decision on Trump's Conviction Amid Supreme Court Ruling

A New York judge has delayed a ruling on a potential reversal of former President Donald Trump's conviction in a hush money case due to a US Supreme Court decision about presidential immunity. The delay, requested by Trump's legal team, moves the decision date to November 19.

In a pivotal moment, a New York judge has postponed a decision regarding whether to reverse former President Donald Trump's conviction in a hush money case. The deferment follows a US Supreme Court ruling tied to presidential immunity, leading to uncertainty around the case's outcome.

Originally, Judge Juan M. Merchan was expected to issue a ruling on Tuesday. However, he communicated to Trump's attorneys that the determination would be postponed until November 19. The decision stems from a recent request made by Trump's legal team over the weekend.

According to the legal filings from Trump's lawyers, there are significant grounds for the decision's delay, which could eventually lead to the case's dismissal in the interest of justice. The postponement has added a layer of complexity to the high-profile legal battle.
