A New York judge has temporarily paused proceedings in Donald Trump's hush money case, citing his recent US election victory on November 5, 2024. Judge Juan Merchan granted the delay until November 19 following a request from prosecutors due to Trump's presidential win and upcoming inauguration. In May 2024, Trump was convicted of 34 charges related to a scheme to influence the 2016 election through payments to adult actor Stormy Daniels. Trump, who pleaded not guilty, is set to be sworn in as the 47th US president in January 2025.
