Justice Juan Merchan to Rule on Trump’s Hush Money Conviction by Tuesday Following July Supreme Court Ruling

Nov 10, 2024, 10:00 PM

A New York judge, Justice Juan Merchan, is set to rule this week on whether to overturn President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. This decision comes in light of a July ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding presidential immunity. Trump's conviction stems from accusations of concealing payments to Daniels to silence her about their alleged relationship. A favorable ruling could significantly impact Trump's legal challenges, potentially freeing him from four criminal cases that have posed risks to his political career. The judge's decision is expected by Tuesday.
