Donald Trump’s tried and true legal delay tactics have won him yet another reprieve, this time in his New York criminal case.
Both prosecutors and Trump’s attorneys convinced a judge they needed more time to weigh the “unprecedented circumstances” before any decision about his sentencing could be made.
Trump’s re-election has changed everything for his legal battles. His two federal prosecutions are almost guaranteed to end once he assumes the presidency – and control over the US Department of Justice. His state election interference case in Georgia will go on hold until he’s out of office – in 2029.
Now he may be one step closer to sweeping away the one case that did make it in front of a jury.
Even Manhattan prosecutors who brought the charges acknowledged that they need time to sort out their next steps; they have asked Justice Juan Merchan to file their view by 19 November.
Trump’s lawyers are using his election to push even harder for a dismissal.
“The stay, and dismissal, are necessary to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump’s ability to govern,” attorney Emil Bove wrote to the court.
Some legal experts have a hard time envisioning Trump will be sentenced before he takes office.
“I think the most likely outcome in the state case is the judge putting off sentencing until after Trump's term in office,” said Daniel Charles Richman, a professor at Columbia Law School.
“To actually impose a sentence would raise any number of messy issues in the short term,” including political ones, he said.

President-elect Donald Trump will meet with President Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday.
This will be their first official meeting since Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
Biden will go through the top priorities for US domestic and foreign policy with Trump, according to national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has also invited Trump to Capitol Hill ahead of his meeting with Biden.

He repeated the pledge at a National Association of Black Journalists forum in Chicago in July.
The events of 6 January 2021 - where at least 2,000 people stormed the Capitol - resulted in one of the largest federal investigations in US history. Nearly 600 people have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding police officers.
Who exactly will be pardoned when Trump takes office, and when, is still an open question.
Derrick Evans, who was among those charged with non-violent offences, hopes he will be given a pardon.
Evans reached an agreement with prosecutors which saw him plead guilty to civil disorder and spent three months in federal prison in 2022.
“A pardon will be life changing,” Evans told the BBC, adding that he believes Trump is "a man of his word".

A New York court's decision on whether or not to uphold Trump's criminal conviction is delayed yet again.
All decisions are postponed until at least 19 November, when prosecutors have asked to advise the court on what they see as the appropriate next steps.
Justice Juan Merchan granted a request from both Trump's lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors to stay any current deadlines for another week while they sort through the unprecedented legal quandary before them.
"The people agree that these are unprecedented circumstances," prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote to the court.
We were expecting Justice Merchan to rule today whether to uphold the conviction and proceed to sentencing, or throw it out on the grounds of the US Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity. Now the wait continues.
Congress is back today after breaking over the election period, and we are about to hear from House Speaker Mike Johnson.

In California's 27th Congressional District race, Republican Mike Garcia conceded to Democratic opponent George Whitesides on Monday, the BBC's US partner CBS reports.
The race was among a few closely watched contests in California that could influence the balance of power in Congress, where Republicans have gained control of the Senate.
Whichever party takes control of the House will have a narrow majority. Democrats were projected to win at least 210 House seats and Republicans 215 seats as of Tuesday morning. A party needs 218 seats in order to have the majority.

Hello and welcome back to another big day in US politics.
We're expecting President-elect Donald Trump to continue to announce his picks for his administration, after a number of loyalists and key allies were announced over the past few days.
Some of the appointments - including secretary of state - will require senators' approval, although Trump has demanded that the next Senate leader let him bypass this. He can give out other jobs - like national security adviser - directly.
Elsewhere today we are still waiting on votes to be counted in the House, the lower chamber of Congress. Republicans control the Senate and are edging towards a majority in the House.
