Donald Trump’s criminal sentencing due to take place next week in New York has been cancelled.
His attorneys are pushing to dismiss the prosecution following his election victory earlier this month.
Judge Juan Merchan, who oversees the trial proceedings, announced the indefinite adjournment in a letter on Friday.
In his one-page decision, he said that Trump’s lawyers had to file their argument for dismissal by end of business on December 2. Prosecutors have one week to respond.
