BREAKING๐ฅ: New York judge grants Trump request to file motion to dismiss case, cancels sentencing indefinitely
Judge Juan Merchan on Friday granted President-elect Donald Trump's request to file a motion to dismiss the charges in New York v. Trump and removed the sentencing date for the president-elect from the schedule.
Merchan said Trump attorneys have until December 2 to file their motion for dismissal. Merchan said Bragg has until December 9 to respond.
Merchan also confirmed the stay in sentencing for Trump, which was requested by both Trump and Bragg attorneys. The sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 26, but on Friday, Merchan said that date "is adjourned."
In a letter to Merchan on Wednesday, Trump defense attorney and now-nominee for Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche demanded the case against President-elect Donald Trump be tossed.
"On November 5, 2024, the Nationโs People issued a mandate that supersedes the political motivations of DANYโs โPeople,โ" Blanche wrote. "This case must be immediately dismissed."
