New York Judge Merchan to decide whether to dismiss Trump guilty verdict in hush money case
A jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump had pleaded not guilty.
New York Judge Juan Merchan is expected to decide as early as Tuesday whether to dismiss Donald Trump's guilty verdict in the president-elect's hush money case.
Merchan's decision will come in the form of a written opinion.
A jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree in connection to payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
Trump's sentencing was originally scheduled for July 11th, but it was delayed until September 18. Merchan delayed the sentencing date again until after the Nov. 5 presidential election to avoid the appearance of attempting to influence the outcome.
Trump's sentencing is now scheduled for Nov. 26.
