Add another “W” for President-elect Donald Trump.
On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan granted Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the charges in his Hush Money case. Merchan also stopped Trump’s sentencing indefinitely, Fox News reported.
Dec. 2 is the deadline for Trump’s lawyers to file the motion for dismissal.
Manhattan District Attorney has until Dec. 9 to respond, Merchan said.
The judge also stayed Trump’s sentencing, a request made by both the prosecution and defense.
Trump was to be sentenced Nov. 26; Merchan said that date “is adjourned.”
Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, said Merchan’s ruling was a “decisive win” for the newly elected president.
“In a decisive win for President Trump, the hoax Manhattan Case is now fully stayed and sentencing is adjourned,” Cheung said. “President Trump won a landslide victory as the American People have issued a mandate to return him to office and dispose of all remnants of the Witch Hunt cases.”
Cheung added Trump can now going about the business of “Making America Great Again.”
