Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will decide Tuesday whether to delay sentencing Donald Trump after his conviction on charges related to hush money paid to a porn star — or even to toss the case — now that Trump is preparing to re-enter the White House.
The prosecutor could move to pause Trump’s Nov. 26 sentencing date on his conviction for concealing a payoff that hid a sex scandal from voters before the 2016 presidential election.
Bragg could also push to dismiss the case entirely.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan would have to approve prosecutors’ plan before it goes into effect.
Either scenario would mean that Trump, 78, would retake the presidency largely unscathed by the four criminal cases that at one time threatened to derail his candidacy.
Merchan is also expected to rule Tuesday on whether to scrap May’s verdict based on July’s US Supreme Court ruling immunizing a president for “official acts” taken in office.

If it isn’t, Fat Alvin’s ass needs to be tossed.
He should. If he doesn't, I hope some AG goes after him and makes him spend every last cent on defending himself from stupid charges.
Even anti-Trump lawyers admitted it was based on a “novel legal theory.” That’s shyster talk for phoney BS.
“Juan Merchan” is a scumbag who should be facing a prison sentence for violation of civil rights under color of law IMHO.
Put your fake charges where the sun don’t shine.
Four years is long enough for a billionaire to create an off-the-books mercenary team to deal with "problems" like this...
Converting it into a Sword of Damocles won’t heal the festering Constitutional wound though.
Wait, what?!?
My thoughts exactly.

Along with Schwartz Gyorgy.
I say he folds.
Trump Winning was not part of the plan. This gets tossed or merchan gets tossed. This was supposed to complicate Trump’s life now just the opposite is happening. This coward will cut bait and run
99% of sex workers are democrat sluts who charge for their favors.
No matter what the outcome of President Trump’s nominations, there are enough people that WILL be in his cabinet to be able to apply pressure to Bragg.
That’s correct.
