Judge to Decide on Trump's Hush Money Conviction Tuesday

Nov 11, 2024, 06:09 AM

A New York judge is set to decide this week whether President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction on charges involving hush money paid to a porn star should be overturned. The decision hinges on the Supreme Court's July ruling on presidential immunity. Justice Juan Merchan will issue a written opinion on Tuesday regarding Trump's request to dismiss the conviction or order a new trial. This ruling could potentially free Trump from the four criminal cases that once threatened his political career.
