New York Judge Juan Merchan faces a choice of freezing President-elect Trump’s hush money case in place until he leaves the White House or tossing it entirely, underscoring how Trump’s election win has changed the dynamic of his legal travails.

In a brief order, the judge confirmed Trump’s sentencing would not go ahead next Tuesday and set a new schedule to consider arguments about how to proceed in light of his election win.

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.
