A Manhattan judge agreed to pause any action in the hush-money case that found President-elect Donald Trump guilty of falsifying business records.

Judge Juan Merchan granted the motion seeking a stay on all deadlines in the case — including sentencing, which was set for Nov. 26, according to a Fox News report.

This delay will allow court officials to determine how Trump’s victory on Nov. 5 will impact the case. Trump’s attorneys have filed a motion seeking to vacate the charges.

In May, a Manhattan jury convicted Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records. 

The case revolved around payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence on an alleged sexual encounter the two had.

Merchan previously approved a delay of four months in proceedings, which halted any decision in the case until after the election.

Nov. 12 was the judge’s self-imposed deadline to determine how to proceed in this unprecedented issue.

The Supreme Court ruled in July that presidents were immune from criminal prosecution for actions taken as president.

The court said presidents can receive absolute immunity from any actions taken within the scope of “core constitutional powers” in the role as president.

It remains unclear if the same holds true for state convictions.

The self-imposed deadline designed to allow Merchan to consider possible presidential immunity and if the Supreme Court’s ruling on immunity applies to the state level.
