President-elect Donald Trump was convicted in May by a Manhattan jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records, which if upheld, could have cost him up to four years in prison.

Judge Juan Merchan was scheduled to issue a decision Tuesday on whether the Supreme Court's broad presidential immunity ruling means Trump's 34 felony convictions must be tossed out. But the pause on the case until Nov. 19, which was made public Tuesday, means that ruling won't come this week.

A decision on Tuesday from New York Justice Juan Merchan, a week after Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, adds yet another delay to proceedings in a case that resulted in his 34-count criminal conviction. Merchan was scheduled to issue a ruling on Trump’s “immunity” argument on Tuesday.
