Local time Tuesday, the New York prosecutor agreed to postpone further litigation in the case of the 'Stormy Daniels Hush Money' involving Trump, but opposed Trump's request to overturn his 34 felony convictions.

Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records for paying $130,000 in hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels through his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, during the 2016 election campaign. On May 31 of this year, after lengthy deliberation for two days, a jury unanimously found Trump guilty on all 34 charges. As a result, Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted.

As a result, Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted.

The sentencing date for Trump was originally scheduled for November 26, but the outcome of the case was overturned due to his election victory. The U.S. court updated the judgment status in court records on Tuesday, and the sentencing date was canceled.

Trump defeated Harris in this year's election and is set to return to the White House in January next year. Given the Justice Department's policy of not prosecuting sitting presidents, he is unlikely to be imprisoned in the next four years. Trump's legal team has tried several times to dismiss this case, and following Trump's reelection this month, they are pushing for it again.

In a recent court filing submitted on Tuesday by Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who initiated this lawsuit in 2023 and a Democrat, he stated that he would oppose Trump's request to overturn his conviction. However, Bragg mentioned that postponing Trump's sentencing at the current time is reasonable. Considering the 'need to balance conflicting constitutional interests,' perhaps the case should be set aside for review after Trump leaves office.

In a filing submitted on Tuesday, Bragg also mentioned that the judge should consider various non-dismissal options, such as postponing all remaining criminal litigation procedures until the end of Trump's second term.

A spokesperson for Trump responded that Bragg's subpoena was a "thorough and decisive victory" for Trump. He stated, "The Manhattan prosecutor has acknowledged that this political persecution cannot continue."

Currently, the final decision on this case will depend on Judge Juan Merchan of the New York State Supreme Court. He will announce in the next few weeks whether to freeze or dismiss the case. Some industry insiders have suggested that as a former prosecutor known for upholding the rule of law, Merchan may not choose to dismiss the case completely.

In many ways, American judges and prosecutors are actually in uncharted territory at the moment. Trump is the first former US president to face criminal charges. His election has made this matter even more unusual, presenting the courts with many unprecedented issues.
