Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial considers tossing felony conviction after election win

The Manhattan judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s hush-money criminal trial will now consider whether to toss the president-elect’s historic felony conviction before he re-returns to the White House.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan had already delayed sentencing by more than four months to come after the election — and has given himself until Tuesday to decide if the conviction should still stand, CNN said.

He will face intense pressure from the president-elect’s legal team who now want “to make sure that sentencing never happens,” CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid said late Wednesday.

“Here, they’re going to argue to the judge that the sentencing should never happen because now that Trump is president-elect,” Reid noted.
