Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will decide on Tuesday whether to postpone the sentencing of Donald Trump following his conviction on charges related to hush money or potentially dismiss the case altogether, now that Trump is preparing for a return to the White House.

The prosecutor may request a delay in Trump’s scheduled Nov. 26 sentencing after his conviction for concealing a payment that helped prevent a scandal from affecting voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Bragg may also seek to have the case dismissed entirely.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan would need to approve any proposal by prosecutors before it is implemented.

If either of these actions is taken, Trump, 78, could assume the presidency once again, largely unaffected by the four criminal cases that previously posed a serious threat to his campaign.

Merchan is also anticipated to rule on Tuesday regarding whether to overturn the May verdict in light of a US Supreme Court decision in July that granted immunity to a president for “official acts” conducted while in office.

Trump’s legal team had argued that the trial had been fundamentally “tainted” by evidence presented from his first term in the White House.

Prosecutors contend that the Supreme Court’s ruling has “no basis” in the case in Manhattan.
